"I've dedicated this book to my two wonderful daughters (who tagged along to law school with me!) and to all the lawyers of MothersEsquire. For all the lawyer-moms who work tirelessly as advocates for the rights of others, this book is for you. Simultaneously, these fierce leaders are raising the next generation of humans, either alone or with help from a partner or a village of family and friends. This book is dedicated to the mom-lawyers who found the legal profession filled with bias against mothers and ultimately took a different path, for now or forever. I dedicate this book to our military lawyers and their spouses, both men and women, who often must move from state to state or country to country. And, for the men who use their voices to ask for paternity leave, demand pay equality for their colleagues, and seek to be co-equal parents, thank you. And, of course, this book is for our most Honorable RBG, who lit the path and led the way."
