Do it. Because there’s a great need. There are not enough women’s rights attorneys, for lots of reasons we do not have time to go into. But you will have plenty of clients, and you just need to do it. We need you. We’ll train you. Get into it. And you’ll find it’s a very satisfying career. We need you. We want you. Get out there and do it, and then tell me you did.
— Famed women’s rights attorney Gloria Allred, in response to a question from an audience member (“What advice would you give a young woman wanting to attend law school to be a women’s rights attorney?”) during the panel discussion, moderated by Thane Rosenbaum, that followed last night’s screening of the documentary Seeing Allred, hosted by NYU Law’s Forum on Law, Culture & Society at the 92nd Street Y. Panelists included the film’s co-director Sophie Sartain, its producer Marta Kauffman, and Gloria Allred herself. Seeing Allred is currently available on Netflix, and we highly recommend watching the film.
