In this episode, our guest is
Bridget Bailey Lipscomb, Assistant Director of the Environmental
Torts Section at the U.S. Department of Justice, and President of
the Women’s Bar Association of the District of Columbia. Listen in
as Bridget describes her path, from growing up on the South Side of
Chicago to working in the halls of power in Washington, D.C. We
tackle the issue of women in the law, both marveling at how far
things have come since the Women’s Bar Association was founded in
1917 (three years before women’s right to vote became a part of the
Constitution), but also discussing the challenges women continue to
face today in the legal world. Then, we get garrulous with Bridget
about her college sorority, and how, just recently, she helped a
young woman join that same sorority. It’s a fun story, and also
emblematic of Bridget’s tireless efforts to mentor and be a role
model for other women.
