Life was different in 1946 when Helene was born. Women were destined to serve within the confines of the home and support her man. Born into a conservative Catholic midwestern family of Irish immigrant stock, her destiny was sealed. A different world is offered to her brothers. This she cannot understand. Times are changing though. Just as she enters puberty, birth control pills are approved. The Civil Rights Act is passed the year before she finishes high school. There are still no laws protecting a woman's right to a higher education or shielding her from sexual harassment. The pressure to submit to the traditional female role weighs heavy. With the help of a good Samaritan, she slips under the ropes and joins the boys to become the single woman graduate in her law school class only to face a serious obstacle on the other side.
