Description

The year is 1957 and you've been invited to a selective dinner. As you look around the horseshoe-shaped table, you can see many of your esteemed law professors who served as escorts for you and your fellow colleagues. Certainly a woman can't go to a party without a male escort of some kind. Then, you hear a question asked out loud that you've tried to suppress from your own mind many times. "Why are you here occupying a seat that could be held by a man?"




It's Ruth Bader Ginsburg week baby! Madi gives us some background on the amazing woman and we learn about her "Big 6" legal arguments in this episode.
