I remember quite clearly attending this luncheon And the nature of law is that we are all going to the first year I was admitted as a lawyer. And what I make mistakes. Making mistakes is an inherent remember quite clearly is sitting at the table thinking part of our profession. And I remember distinctly to myself, how am I ever going to pay off my student practicing law and getting a phone call from a loans? How am I ever going to make my hourly lawyer that many of you in this room know. And billable requirements? And why is this speaker for those of you who don’t know, you are going to droning on and on and on? So, I will try not to drone get a call from him soon telling you that you have on and on and for those of you who are thinking to volunteer to be a pro-bono lawyer. And so Chris about those same concerns, rest assured that they Wiles called me and he barked to me, “Stephanie, will take care of themselves as long as you work hard. I need you to do this pro-bono lawyer thingy.” Not long, though, after I attended that luncheon, That’s the way he talks, he barks. I said, “Chris I there was a column that appeared in the Bar Reporter from Judge just sent out this letter out and I made a mistake and I can’t believe Hancock. And it’s like they say everybody learns in different ways it. And I don’t think I’m cut out for this profession and I don’t know and while I didn’t necessarily pay attention to the speaker that day, if I’m a good lawyer, it’s just been a bad day.” He barked at me again I remember the column by Judge Hancock, who passed away and said, “Stephanie that’s why they call it practice. Everybody recently, when he talked about the importance of being a lawyer makes mistakes.” and how you had to police your career. And what I remember It’s true that’s why distinctly from that column was the importance of integrity: they call it the What Judge Hancock said in that column was, “It is so easy to practice of law, lose, but so hard to gain.” And as a new lawyer that really rang because everybody in my ears.

Speaker 1: Major funding for BackStory is provided by an anonymous donor, The National Endowment for the Humanities, and The Robert and Joseph Cornell Memorial Foundation. Nathan Connolly: From Virginia Humanities, this is BackStory. Nathan Connolly: Welcome to BackStory, the show that explores the history behind the headlines. I'm Nathan Connolly. Joanne Freeman: And I'm Joanne Freeman. Nathan Connolly: If you're new to the podcast, we're all historians. Each week, along with our cohosts, Ed Ayers and Brian Balogh, we explore a different aspect of American history. Joanne Freeman: Now, there is no shortage of famous Supreme Court decisions, Marbury v. Madison, Plessy v. Ferguson, Brown v. Board of Education. But few of them are as currently controversial as the decision in Roe v. Wade, which decriminalized abortion. Nathan Connolly: Ever since the ruling was decided in 1973, it's been simultaneously contested and celebrated. Now, Roe v. Wade is in the news again. States, including Alabama and Missouri, have passed laws that pose a direct challenge to the Roe decision. While others, including Illinois and New York, are shoring up abortion rights for women in their state. All this talk is leading some to ask, are we close to seeing the end of Roe? Joanne Freeman: On this episode we explore the history behind a case whose details are often forgotten or misunderstood. Nathan Connolly: We'll examine what women had to go through to find a safe abortion before the landmark ruling.

  • Our Blood: Prophecies and Discourses on Sexual Politics
    In this fierce and beautiful book, the author of Pornography: Men Possessing Women confronts our most profound social disgrace: the sexual, cultural, and political subjugation of women to men, and with rare eloquence examines the systematic crimes of our male-dominated society against women. “Our Blood is long overdue—all women must welcome the vigor and the incisive perception of this young feminist. ” —Flo Kennedy “Andrea Dworkin’s writing has the power of young genius —Leah Fritz “Andrea Dworkin has dedicated the title chapter of her book to the Grimke sisters, and it would have pleased them, I think—since it contains material which can serve at once as source and inspiration for women. ” —Robin Morgan “Women, looking into the mirror of Out Blood, will feel anguish for our past suffering and enslavement—and outrage at our present condition. Men, if they dare to look into this mirror, will turn away in shame and horror at what they have done. ” —Karla Jay “It is great—scary and innovative and great.” —Karen DeCrow “Our Blood takes a hard, unflinching look at the nature of sexual politics. Each essay reveals us to ourselves, exposing always the dynamics which have kept women oppressed throughout the ages. Our Blood compels us to confront the truth of our lives in the hope that we will then be able to transform them. ” —Susan Yankowitz Books by Andrea DworkinWOMAN Books byAndreaDworkinWOMAN HATING THE NEW WOMANS BROKEN HEART pornography : m e n p o s s e s s in g w o m e n Perigee Books are published by G.
