On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Elizabeth L. Silver to discuss her new novel, The Majority, a story of love and friendship, motherhood and ambition, and one woman’s fight to be a Supreme Court justice. 

This conversation was right up our alley - three lawyers discussing how women make up the majority of the population by the minority in power, why she wanted to tell the “intimate” and untold story of a very public and powerful female figure; her very personal family Holocaust history that inspired part of this story; intersectional feminism and female friendship; the fraught nature of mothers and daughters; and how Elizabeth toggled between her identities as a lawyer and a writer.

The Majority is out now. Buy it, read it, share it and listen to our spoiler-free interview wherever you get your podcasts.
