A Review of Lady Justice and the Women Who Battle America’s System: Harnessing Female Power
This review will focus on the book Lady Justice and the Women Who Battle America’s System by Farah Jasmine Griffin, an award-winning author. In this comprehensive work, Griffin investigates the legal cases of female activists who have fought for their rights against a system that often seemed stacked against them. Through her own experience as a professor of African American studies at Columbia University and her interviews with the women featured in the book, Griffin offers an inside look into these extraordinary individuals’ struggles to make their voices heard in a society where they are often overlooked. The stories are inspiring, heartbreaking, and ultimately uplifting, giving readers insights into what it takes for women to fight–and win–their battles for justice. From the riveting account of Rosa Parks’s fight for civil rights to the lesser-known story of Sylvia Rivera’s battles for transgender rights, Lady Justice provides a unique perspective on how far we have come as a nation – and how far we still need to go.
