Great Read for Women in the Legal Field

Mona Harrington not only asks, but analyzes the right questions about women lawyers. I enjoyed the thourough analysis of the topic. Great read.
Great book, but object to basic premise
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
This book is a good buy. It discusses exactly what the title suggests: women and the law. However the book goes even further that that: it delves into issues affecting all women such as motherhood and the role of feminism in general. The author states she will analyze women in the law while focusing mainly on Harvard grads working in large law firms--supposedly because they have the greatest ability to affect the greatest change. I, personally, don't believe this assumption to be correct, but it doesn't affect the impact of this book. The author, herself, seems to dismiss her premise later on as she discusses the impacts of women in many other areas of law including governmental offices and politics in general. Buy this book if you are looking for some dissecting of the role of women in a patriarchicial legal system.
