Women have come along way in the fashion of law and becoming a lawyer. They are more reprehensive in the application process and the process of women entering law schools. Many law schools provide the statistical data that shows their classes are almost fifty-fifty in the ration fro male and female. One example is the writing of Sandra Day O’Connor. She said that she always wanted to be on a cattle ranch because that is what she loved to do. However, while she was attending college a professor convinced her to go on and becoming something great and change the world. However, she said when she graduated law school in the 1950’s it was very difficult for her to find a job as a women lawyer. She states that for a while she would take jobs that did not pay her anything because the fact that she was a women. However, she persevered through the gender inequality and became an astonishing attorney and part of the politics world. This can make it very discouraging for women to further their education in the field of law. However, women should not let this hold them back. They need to take a stand, which, they have been doing, in the past years, and continue to pursue a career in law school. These will continue to break down that “invisible” wall and help women become successful lawyers in the world today. It will also allow for women to become more involved and represented in the politics side of the law. Which may help in pulling the power away from the power elite males and creating laws that are legally just and do not allow further discrimination on the basis of ones gender nor the color of their skin. Allowing women to succeed in a law school and in a career.
