Description: The Watergate Girl by Jill Wine-Banks Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Obstruction of justice, the specter of impeachment, sexism at work, shocking revelations: Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside her trial by fire as a Watergate prosecutor. Publisher Description It was a time, much like today, when Americans feared for the future of their democracy and women stood up for equal treatment. At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the womens movement stood a young lawyer named Jill Wine Volner (as she was then known), barely thirty years old and in charge of some of the most important prosecutions of high-ranking White House officials. Called "the mini-skirted lawyer" by the press, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts- and prevailed.In The Watergate Girl, Jill Wine-Banks takes us inside this troubled time in American history, and it is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to todays headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own that kept her on a knife-edge. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through.At once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, The Watergate Girl is a revelation about our country, our politics, and our society. Author Biography JILL WINE-BANKS is an MSNBC legal analyst, appearing regularly on the networks prime-time and daytime shows. In addition to her service as an assistant Watergate special prosecutor, she was also general counsel of the U.S. Army, solicitor general and deputy attorney general of Illinois, and chief operating officer of the American Bar Association. A graduate of the University of Illinois and the Columbia University School of Law, she lives in Chicago.
