Fair Labor Lawyer

"Fair Labor Lawyer is an engaging and insightful narrative of the extraordinary life of Bessie Margolin - the self-styled reluctant feminist who became the architect of the U.S. Labor Department's Equal Pay Act enforcement and a founder of the National Organization for Women. Thanks to Marlene Trestman's vivid retelling of the relationships and circumstances that shaped Bessie's life, readers will come away feeling they knew her well, cheering her successes and mourning her losses right along with her. This book is a welcome addition to the body of knowledge we have (which is still far too small) about all of the women who created the successes and advances of the second wave of the U.S. women's movement." -- Book jacket.
