Review of 'Sisters in Law' on 'Goodreads'

Quite interesting when it provides a historical record of the first two female Supreme Court justices. But the author is not content to simply record history; she insists on moralizing all the way through. This gets quite tiresome, especially in the last quarter of the book.
