What They're Saying
Critics Review
“An important and inspiring look at the role of women in the legal profession.”–Kirkus Reviews“I love the incredible way Janet Kintner demonstrates the trials and tribulations of women breaking the glass ceiling. Her memoir is personal yet universal. It’s horrifying but not self-pitying or vengeful or hateful. It’s incredibly thoughtful and good-natured, as is she.”–Laura Hammes, retired judge of the Superior Court
