Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Only thirty years ago, men outnumbered women in American laws schools by 20 to one. The nation’s legal system also has treated the sexes differently in matters ranging from workplace discrimination to government compensation. We explore how activists have tried to reshape American law and open doors for women both inside and outside the courthouse.
