**About the book:**(https://bookshop.org/a/7125/9780593331088)
_Inspired by history, a riveting novel of love and friendship, motherhood and
ambition, and one woman’s fight to be a Supreme Court justice._ ****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 83, “the contemptuous S.O.B.”
doesn’t have much time left. What she has is a story, one she has wrested from
the grip of history to tell herself–of how she rose to her historic position
on the Supreme Court, and the barriers she broke along the way. Set against
the vibrant sweep of the 20th 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.
