Join the LA Law Library book discussion group as we explore the theme of "Women and the Law" with a discussion of A Girl Stands at the Door: The Generation of Young Women Who Desegregated America's Schools, which tells the remarkable stories of the girls who volunteered to desegregate formerly all-white schools.
