Author Elizabeth L. Silver was kind enough to chat with me about her new book, The Majority (on shelves now!), and I can't wait for you to hear about this story. A fictional story of America's first female Supreme Court Justice (think RBG or Sandra Day O'Connor) that encapsulates the importance of intersectionality in the highest court of our land. (Spoiler alert: Sam met RBG when she and Todd lived in D.C. years ago, and she loves to remind me) :) Support Book Pros(e) by rating and subscribing to our podcast wherever you listen! Follow us!

On this episode of Complicated Conversations, we welcome Elizabeth L. Silver to discuss her new novel, The Majority, a story of love and friendship, motherhood and ambition, and one woman's fight to be a Supreme Court justice.  This conversation was right up our alley - three lawyers discussing how women make up the majority of the population by the minority in power, why she wanted to tell the “intimate” and untold story of a very public and powerful female figure; her very personal family Holocaust history that inspired part of this story; intersectional feminism and female friendship; the fraught nature of mothers and daughters; and how Elizabeth toggled between her identities as a lawyer and a writer. The Majority is out now. Buy it, read it, share it and listen to our spoiler-free interview wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
