Also chronicled is her tenure as a High Court Judge where she received plaudits for her compassionate approach to cases involving difficult & emotional family & personal issues as well as for her adept & experienced handling of criminal cases such skills clearly recognized by her appointment by the government in 1975 to chair an Advisory Committee on Rape. This book tells the story of her many firsts in the legal profession over a career spanning nearly 50 years & of the wide range of other legal & non-legal activities she undertook as a result of her fame.
