I was a poor, single, mom in law school. I worked full time, used food stamps, subsidized childcare and lived in low income housing.
But I loved the law… every week in the pages of those law books there were stories of triumph, progress and advancement. Yes some set backs too…

She was 90 & dealing with failing health, while not a surprise, it is extremely sad - the loss of an iconic trailblazer.
