World-renowned women's rights attorney and civil rights advocate Gloria Allred shares

empowering life lessons learned while fighting on the front lines for victims' rights

Voted by her peers as one of the best lawyers in America, and described by Time as ""one of the nation's most effective advocates of family rights and feminist causes,"" Allred has devoted her career to fighting for civil rights across boundaries of gender, race, age, sexual orientation, and social class. She has taken on countless institutions to promote equality, including the Boy Scouts, the Friars Club, and the United States Senate, often drawing from her creativity and wit to achieve results. And as the attorney for numerous high-profile clients, Allred has helped victims assert and protect their rights.

Presenting nearly fifty of her most memorable cases, she takes us deep inside the justice system to show how it's possible to win even in the face of staggering odds, while revealing how much further we still have to go to empower all members of society. Fight Back and Win is a powerful testament to Gloria Allred's trailblazing career and the battles she has fought alongside countless brave individuals to win justice for us all.

      Shy victims everywhere should listen repeatedly to this well-organized audio. The author, a prominent women's rights attorney, confronts the ridiculous efforts of good-old-boy clubs to protect their own, and gives fascinating accounts of her legal battles with Mike Tyson, Bob Packwood, Bill Clinton, Marv Albert, Scott Peterson, and other notorious offenders. The youthful-sounding author is reasonably pugnacious but manages to avoid sounding like a lawyer. On balance, this is a necessary and surprisingly gentle polemic presented in the form of an eye-opening, fast-moving narrative. A must hear for anyone thinking about fighting in any arena for his or her legal or personal rights. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine
