Описание: The first wave of trailblazing female law professors and the stage they set for American democracy.
When it comes to breaking down barriers for women in the workplace, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's name speaks volumes for itself--but, as she clarifies in the foreword to this long-awaited book, there are too many trailblazing names we do not know. Herma Hill Kay, former Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law and Ginsburg's closest professional colleague, wrote Paving the Way to tell the stories of the first fourteen female law professors at ABA- and AALS-accredited law schools in the United States. Kay, who became the fifteenth such professor, labored over the stories of these women in order to provide an essential history of their path for the more than 2,000 women working as law professors today and all of their feminist colleagues.
Because Herma Hill Kay, who died in 2017, was able to obtain so much first-hand information about the fourteen women who preceded her, Paving the Way is filled with details, quiet and loud, of each of their lives and careers from their own perspectives. Kay wraps each story in rich historical context, lest we forget the extraordinarily difficult times in which these women lived. Paving the Way is not just a collection of individual stories of remarkable women but also a well-crafted interweaving of law and society during a historical period when women's voices were often not heard and sometimes actively muted. The final chapter connects these first fourteen women to the "second wave" of women law professors who achieved tenure-track appointments in the 1960s and 1970s, carrying on the torch and analogous challenges. This is a decidedly feminist project, one that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg advocated for tirelessly and admired publicly in the years before her death.

Описание:
Sunny Hill lives in Knoxville, Tennessee. Still on the dating scene, she uses the wisdom she has gained through her sometimes awkward, sometimes exhilarating experiences to coach friends on best dating practices. Sunny graduated from the University of Tennessee and practices accounting, although she is anything but a boring, pencil-pushing number-cruncher
Recently, she was chatting with a prospect when he asked about her occupation. When she told him, he replied, "I guess you don't have any tattoos then, do you?" Sunny said with a laugh, "No, but don't judge a character by her title." If Sunny had a tattoo, it would simply read, "Plays with Fire".
Sunny and her clan of sisters-before-misters are career professionals and single parents who have learned how to live in a man's world, working smarter and harder to provide for their children and pursue their unapologetic professional dreams. Sunny also plays hard--whether through golfing, shopping, travel, and giving back to the community, or, through the trials and tribulations of the dating life. .
Sunny met Thomas, a surgeon from Raleigh, on eHarmony and they developed a virtual relationship over seven years. When the inevitable day finally arrived for them to meet, Sunny had already decided he was and would always be a player. Little did he know, he had a new coach. Sunny arrived at the restaurant ahead of him, with clean-shaven legs, smooth as glass and well moisturized. He walked in and they hugged and started talking as if they had kept this same routine for years. He was just as intriguing and charismatic in person as he was on the phone and in emails for so many years.
Being the perfect gentlemen, as expected, he offered her a chair at the bar and then sat facing her. But, as soon as he sat down, Sunny spun her chair around to face him, pinning his legs between hers and the bar. She then seductively crossed her bare knees, revealing just enough of her upper thighs below the hem of her black skirt to make a man nervous. He did not know what to do or where to put his hands. He was flustered. Let the games begin
She wanted him to sweat, to want her, and to forever remember their first and only meeting.
Sunny was constantly finding herself in unusual situations as she meets men. She would share her hilarious stories with her girlfriends who would have tears running down their legs laughing at Sunny's encounters with her flavors of the week. From Ri'chard whom she met standing under the Eiffel Tower to the surgeon in Raleigh with whom she kept a virtual relationship for 7 years to Jay, her cougar catch 16 years younger--there was always a story that could only happen to Sunny. Regardless of how long she endured the wrong Mr. Right - whether 7 minutes or 7 years - the question begged: I Shaved My Legs for THIS?
