What was it like for women who wanted to attend law school back in the 1970s? Very difficult, but some women persevered, such as Dorothy Isaacs. She is a successful lawyer who did not give up on her dream to become a lawyer when few women were being admitted to law school. She shares her stories with us, including one major case where she represented parents who were improperly charged with child abuse, and how they eventually won the case, after years of legal battles and emotional trauma. She gives us hope to persevere with our dreams and goals.
