Linda R. Hirshman was a prominent American lawyer, pundit, academic, and author. Starting her career as a union-side labor lawyer, she argued before the Supreme Court of the United States. Hirshman then transitioned to academia, teaching law and philosophy at Chicago-Kent College of Law and Brandeis University. She authored several influential books, including the New York Times best-seller "Sisters in Law," which profiles Supreme Court justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Known for her provocative 2005 article "Homeward Bound," she sparked national debate by urging women in high-status jobs to pursue careers rather than become homemakers. Hirshman's legacy is marked by her unwavering advocacy for gender equality and social justice.
