Before there was a Notorious RBG, there was an Audacious Bessie M, trailblazing New Deal attorney and Supreme Court advocate.
From New Orleans's Jewish orphanage in which Bessie Margolin was raised, to the Supreme Court in which she won an astounding 21 of 24 arguments she presented to champion the wage and hour rights of American workers, Fair Labor Lawyer traces the fascinating journey of this legal trailblazer and reluctant feminist. Along the way, with law degrees from Tulane and Yale, Margolin overcame anti-Semitism and sexism to help shape 20th century American history: she defended the New Deal's Tennessee Valley Authority; drafted the rules for Nazi war crimes trials in Nuremberg; and on behalf of the Labor Department was the nation's top legal enforcer of equal pay for women. Fair Labor Lawyer has garnered advance praise from NOW's National PresidentTerry O'Neill and from noted author/historians including Alice Kessler-Harris, Jean Harvey Baker and Laura Kalman who, respectively, described the book as "an inspiring read," "outstanding biography," and "a page-turner!"
