#MeToo, circa 1927: The Quest for Meaning

Mary K. Carr did not expect to go into law at first. As law was a male-dominated field with very few cracks in the glass ceiling, she entered a class of 142 students, "five of whom would be girls", but she did so with a little trepidation. And so began a lengthy and vigorous career at the forefront of female triumph.In an intricately detailed account of her thrilling life and a commentary on unjust practices thought to be commonplace, Judge Mary K. Carr weaves a story of tenacity, fortitude, moxie, and abiding love in a world she helped to prove does not belong to men. -Nina Martineck, Nardin Academy, Buffalo, NY, class of 2019
