It also brings vividly to life the candid - and sometimes cringeworthy - assessments by male lawyers and judges about the changes to the profession ushered in by the increasing entry of women to the lawyers' club.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePart of the \u003ci\u003eClassics of Law \u0026amp; Society\u003c\/i\u003e Series from Quid Pro, \u003ci\u003eWomen in Law\u003c\/i\u003e is recognized as within the canon of its field, and now is available in a modern paperback format.

Over the last three decades, much has changed but too much has remained the same. Now, about half of new lawyers in the United States are women and they are fairly evenly distributed across substantive areas. Yet significant gender disparities persist. Women constitute about a third of the lawyers in large firms, but only about 17 percent of equity partners. Attrition rates are almost twice as high among female associates as among comparable male associates.... When Epstein published \u003ci\u003eWomen in Law\u003c\/i\u003e, part of what attracted its widespread acclaim was its originality; it was among the first in what has now become a rich literature on gender and diversity in the profession. Indeed, the fact that the book is being reissued testifies not only to its enduring scholarly value, but also to the attention that the issue now commands.... Her book helped inspire that movement, and our profession remains deeply in her debt.\"\u003cbr\u003e - Deborah L. Rhode\u003cbr\u003eErnest W.
