Fair Labor Lawyer
This book ... traces the inspiring journey of the unsung Jewish legal trailblazer who worked tirelessly to protect American workers and their rights. Over the course of her career, Bessie Margolin defended the New Deals Tennessee Valley Authority, drafted the rules for American Military Tribunals for Nazi war crimes at Nuremberg, and became the nations first enforcer of the Equal Pay Act and a founder of NOW. Lacking female role models, Margolin used her brains, beauty, and Southern charm to overcome antisemitism and sexism, winning respect in a mans world of law. Fair Labor Lawyer also reveals facets of Margolins carefully guarded private life, including her risky clandestine romances with high-profile government officials who won her heart - but never her hand in marriage.
