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!
