Women's Empowerment: Gloria Allred Is The Only Attorney In The Room Changing The Status Quo For Women & Minorities

Can you visualize a world where women are barred from eating lunch at certain restaurants or routinely charged more than men for things like, alterations and dry cleaning? Can you picture what it was like before women had the power of choice when it came to their own bodies or were taken seriously when violently assaulted? What if you had to do more than visualize it, but you had to live it…again? And what if there was no one fighting to keep the status quo of the past...in the past? In 1966, Gloria Allred, legendary civil rights attorney and women’s advocate, had a life-changing experience that would serve to solidify her decision to become a lawyer and fight for women’s rights. But everywhere that she went to fight injustice, she was met with resistance, anger and sometimes threats of violence. What would you do if it seemed like you were waging a losing battle for equal rights? Would you take the easy road, putting your energy toward causes that might be easier to win? Or would you take the road less traveled and advocate for the choices of those victimized, no matter what?
