At the crossroads of the Watergate scandal and the women's movement was a young lawyer named Jill Wine Volner (as she was then known), barely thirty years old and the only woman on the team that prosecuted the highest-ranking White House officials. Called \"the mini-skirted lawyer\" by the press, she fought to receive the respect accorded her male counterparts--and prevailed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Watergate Girl\u003c\/i\u003e, Jill Wine-Banks opens a window on this troubled time in American history. It is impossible to read about the crimes of Richard Nixon and the people around him without drawing parallels to today's headlines. The book is also the story of a young woman who sought to make her professional mark while trapped in a failing marriage, buffeted by sexist preconceptions, and harboring secrets of her own. Her house was burgled, her phones were tapped, and even her office garbage was rifled through. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAt once a cautionary tale and an inspiration for those who believe in the power of justice and the rule of law, \u003ci\u003eThe Watergate Girl\u003c\/i\u003e is a revelation about our country, our politics, and who we are as a society.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Henry Holt and Co.","offers":[{"title":"Watergate Girl: My Fight for Truth and Justice Against a Criminal President | Jill Wine-Banks | Hardcover | 9781250244321 | Used: Like New | Back Stacks F 1763683","offer_id":49287642841240,"sku":"1763683","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/91ZRnYtfVUL.jpg?v=1781893746","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/watergate-girl-my-fight-for-truth-and-justice-against-a-criminal-president","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
