Listen in as Bridget describes her path, from growing up on the South Side of Chicago to working in the halls of power in Washington, D.C. We tackle the issue of women in the law, both marveling at how far things have come since the Women\u2019s Bar Association was founded in 1917 (three years before women\u2019s right to vote became a part of the Constitution), but also discussing the challenges women continue to face today in the legal world. Then, we get garrulous with Bridget about her college sorority, and how, just recently, she helped a young woman join that same sorority. It\u2019s a fun story, and also emblematic of Bridget\u2019s tireless efforts to mentor and be a role model for other women.
