The other half is praying for her to hold on. At 83, \"the contemptuous S.O.B.\" doesn't have much time left. What she has is a story, one she has wrested from the grip of history to tell herself--of how she rose to her historic position on the Supreme Court, and the barriers she broke along the way. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold over fifty years, from losing her mother at a young age, to falling in love, to navigating an unplanned pregnancy and motherhood, to learning how to spar with a sexist mentor, Sylvia's personal story reveals the intimate truth about who she was as she ascended to her modern throne: not just a brilliant mind, but a daughter, a best friend, a wife, mother, and advocate. While caught in a dramatic tug of war between career and family, truth and convenience, progress and patience, she will be given a chance to change the course of American history - and give voice, at last, to the majority. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSet against the vibrant sweep of the 20th century, THE MAJORITY brings us into the sacrifices, heartaches, and complex emotional life of a powerful woman ahead of her time, whose life and work turn out to have supreme stakes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eElizabeth L.
