In her book, Lady Justice: Women, the Law, and the Battle To Save America, Dahlia Lithwick presents how resourceful women fostered fairness and struggled relentlessly to safeguard the United States' (U.S.) constitutional democracy during the Trump administration. Lithwick argues, "Something extraordinary happens when female anger and lawyering meet” (Lithwick, 2022, p. 27). Donald Trump's win in 2016 implied that he would be committed to pursuing retrograding and devastating policies. To save the situation, women lawyers across the country make efforts independently tailored to stand for justice. At the same time, the Trump administration did all it could in its capacity to reconstitute the judiciary in its conservative narrative. The author details how women lawyers worked relentlessly in the next four years to promote constitutional order amid American history's malign and chaotic presidency.
