About
A riveting novel of motherhood and ambition, love and friendship, and one woman's fight to be a Supreme Court Justice
"History is only as good as the historians, and I'm no longer trusting them to tell my story."
Half of the United States is waiting for Justice Sylvia Olin Bernstein to die. The other half is praying for her to hold on. At eighty-three, “the Contemptuous S.O.B.” doesn’t have much time left. What she does have is her story.
Covering the span of fifty years, Sylvia's personal account reveals the intimate truth about a woman who is not just a brilliant mind but a daughter, a best friend, a wife, and a mother. Caught between the competing desires of career and family, truth and convenience, progress and patience, she will be given a chance to change the course of American history.
Set against the vibrant sweep of the twentieth century, THE MAJORITY brings us into the sacrifices, heartaches, and complex emotional life of a powerful woman ahead of her time, whose life and work turn out to have supreme stakes.
