I grew up in Newton, a suburb of Boston, Massachusetts, in a middle class Jewish family with a father who went to college, and a mother who didn’t. I went to public schools and graduated from Smith College in 1969.
After a few years of teaching school while my then-husband went to law school, I decided that the practice of law was for me. I started at the University of Chicago in a class that was 10-percent women, had a baby my second year in law school, transferred to the University of Pennsylvania Law School, got divorced, graduated mid-year, went to work, part time at Dechert Price & Rhoads (now Dechert), remarried, became a Dechert partner, and stayed there until I retired in 2002. I was named as Dechert’s first director of diversity and helped to found the Philadelphia Diversity Law Group (PDLG).
