Women lawyers truly have come a long way since the days of Myra Bradwell. But there’s unfinished business even in 2013.
Many of us remember the vintage 1968 Virginia Slims cigarette advertisement that declared “You’ve come a long way, baby!” Sadly, the provocative tagline specifically referenced women having achieved the freedom to smoke their own brand of cigarettes which we’ve since determined was not such a healthy milestone – also interesting to note the then apparently acceptable use of the “baby” moniker to generally refer to women.
