She earned a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School. She was appointed the first female chair of the Legal Services Corporation in 1978 and became the first female partner at Rose Law Firm the following year. She is a best selling author with several books to her credit, including the aptly named Living History, of which I am a proud owner, and Hard Choices.
