Civil Rights Queen: Constance Baker Motley and the Struggle for Equality by Tomiko Brown-Nagin

5.0

Brilliantly written biography of Constance Baker Motley and her legacy as a lawyer and federal judge. I was captivated by her tenacity and couldn’t wait to hear more about each case that she worked on and how beneficial her impact was on the Civil Rights Movement and other leaders. A great commentary on being a woman civil rights activist and the challenges in her career that she faced because she was a woman and working in the judicial system to make change but also how later on in her career it could be a limiting factor. Her story is endlessly interesting!
