When I started reading I was afraid that this would be just a White Feminist™ fluff piece but the author focuses on different women including women of color.
I was speechless during the discussio of the Supreme Court and judicial circuits in general.

TW/CW: Sexual assault, sexual harassment, racism, homophobia, misogyny
REVIEW: Lady Justice is the story of women lawyers during the Trump years who fought and defeated some of Trump’s most disgusting policies. From the ‘Muslim ban’ in 2017 to the attempt to add racist and xenophobic questions to the 2020 census, this book documents the women who gave their all to try to keep the country from backsliding as far as it could have.
Although looking back at a fraught and traumatic time, this book manages to be hopeful. The women who fought and succeeded not only give the reader something to hold onto but ways in which the reader themselves can attempt to make things better. Lithwick’s story telling is excellent, and her own involvement with many of these issues brings it closer to home. At the intersection of feminism and politics, this book is powerful, and important.
I have read many depressing books about the Trump era, and this is one that didn’t have me feeling lost and hopeless by the end. I recommend this book to all interested in politics and feminism.
