I enjoyed learning about the lives of these two intelligent and steadfast women in a time when women were less empowered, and the SIGNIFICANT changes these two women had in changing women's rights/equal rights at a judicial level between the 1970's and present time.
It may be because I do not use judicial jargon in my language or have much knowledge in the inner workings of the court system, but I did have a difficult time reading this book. A lot of cases and a lot of names are thrown around. I really wanted to learn of these two masterminds, so I just resolved to picking up the main concepts; some of the small details were lost on me unfortunately.
That said, I would still recommend this book; I came away with much insight, appreciation, and respect for these two women.

Interesting stories of two smart and hard working women who were our first female jurists.
All young women should read about the cases involving the rights of women in the workplace and about reproductive rights. Hard fought rights and always up for being pushed back to the Old Day attitudes.

an amazing book. amazing story.

Enough with the Cult of the Personality and the Dumbing Down of America: these two sat on the most egregious court of all time, and the previous ones were nothing to write home about! ! ! [Contrary to all those extremely highly paid pundits who will say whatever they are paid to shill!]
They should be ashamed to allow anyone to show their photographs or write anything about them! [Next up: Why Patty Murray was such a wonderful senator for voting for John Alito and supporting the TPP - - both about corporate arbitration nullifying one's write to sue!]

Excellent and educational.
