Retired appellate and post-conviction criminal defense lawyer. Former public defender. Is working on playing with her grandkids and sewing.
My aunt, Lenore Sternlight, who taught at York College for many years, received her Ph.D. in economics when women in that field were rare. Ironically, she originally wanted to be a lawyer but my grandfather (himself a lawyer) told her that men in law were too hard on women.

Done even before this post. I have not been delivering family meals to affected people and increasing my donations to Hunger Task Force for nothing
