Story

It was one of those magical days on the west coast. We were fishing out of King Pacific Lodge in Whale Channel. I had listened to legends of the territories some fifty years earlier, and now I was fishing in the same area, retelling those stories to my friends. The fishing was great; there was a light northwest breeze and lots of sunshine. The day began with a display of aerobatics from over a dozen eagles, diving on a school of bait on the sea's surface. We then saw a group of orca that numbered around one hundred and fifty. I had only observed this phenomenon once in my youth in the same general area and had just told that very story when a large group of killer whales came by to thrill us. As it turns out, we witnessed a number of groups or pods coming together, truly a rare sight.

Near the end of the day, we set a course for the lodge and came across a humpback whale calf that gave us a display of breaching and splashing about. My friend Ray commented that we had seen just about everything we could for one day. We resumed our course for the lodge leaving the humpback behind when we came upon a group of sea lions. The cows reacted to our presence by jumping into the ocean, but the bulls were content to sit as kings of their castle and watch us watch them. I could not help but comment, "Now that's a lot of bull'. I am glad for friends who put up with my puns.

We ended the day with a wonderful meal at the lodge and told lots of stories, reflecting on the awe and wonder of a summer day on the wild west coast of British Columbia. With the passing of another Thanksgiving holiday, I can say that I am thankful for a life full of gifts, beauty, and many experiences that come to those who love being out on the land, and the sea.

A serious read about a very relevant, non-fiction topic... not a light hearted read.
Format: Kindle
A serious non-fiction, not a leisurely novel... very detailed, lots of research went into this, and a lot to be learned from reading thru it.. an excellent education of all that leads up to our Supreme Court,... and serious relevance to the 60’s, 70’s, up to now.... for many women.

Entertaining read
Format: Kindle
I wanted to educate myself on some of the issues that are presented in this book. If you're looking for just factual case-law and supreme court decisions this is not the book you're looking for. This book presents the cases in a story and gives a lot of detail about what went on in the lives of the people involved in these lawsuits outside of the courtroom. The only thing that I wish would have been talked about in greater detail would be a more in-depth look at the opinions and reasons from the justices that were not voting in favor of the plaintiffs.

Excellent Details
Format: Kindle
If you're like me, you've probably either never heard of these cases or heard about them in only the broadest of strokes. For remedying that, this book is excellent. Thomas provides a detailed account of how these complaints came to be, how they wended their way through the cases, and why they are important in terms of outcome and legal precedent. This is a book that I'm glad to have read and one that I would highly recommend to others.

engrossing, revealing, shocking, fascinating -- 10 gritty women who won big cases at great personal loss
Format: Kindle
Thankfully, women no longer have to pay more for retirement plans, and get lower payouts, than men. Amazing how many different, inventive the ways were in the 1960's to keep women out of jobs. Bless Title VII and the attorneys and clients who fought these battles; we stand on their shoulders. The saddest part is the update, at the end of the book showing how protections against gender discrimination in the workplace have weakened in recent years. In particular, it has become difficult, or nearly impossible, to prove that a hostile work environment exists so long as employers pay lip service to certain ideas and practices and hide what's really going on--which we working women KNOW still goes on, unfortunately.

Entertaining, personal history of landmark cases
Format: Hardcover
Amazing look behind the scenes at the people (plaintiffs and lawyers) who made equality for women at work a reality. Compelling, heartwarming, and educational - should be required reading for anyone who holds a job in 21st century America - both to learn how far we've come and to see the ways in which we need to continue the fight for equality at work.
