The World-renowned women's rights attorney and
civil rights advocate shares empowering life lessons learned
from her career fighting on the front lines for victims'
rights Fearless lawyer, feminist,
activist, television and radio commentator, warrior,
advocate, and winner -- Gloria Allred is all of these things
and more. 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 -- she has represented
Nicole Brown Simpson's family, actress Hunter Tylo, and
Amber Frey, Scott Peterson's girlfriend -- Allred has helped
victims assert and protect their rights. Throughout
her extraordinary memoir, in such chapters as "To Conquer,
You Must First Conquer Yourself" and "Don't Be Victimized
Twice," Allred offers colorful -- sometimes shocking --
examples of self-empowerment from her personal and
professional life. 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. Allred opens our eyes not only to
the significant positive strides we've made in recent
decades, but more important, to how much further we still
have to go to empower all members of society -- especially
women, minorities, and others who are deprived of their
rights. 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.
