Passion and PowerA Life in Three Worlds\nAuthor(s): Harriet Newman Cohen, David Feinberg\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Bloomsbury Publishing Plc, United States\nImprint: Bloomsbury Academic\nISBN-13: 9798765164679, 979-8765164679\nSynopsis\nPassion and Power is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nations most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today.\nThis sweeping narrative details Harriets journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the divorce revolution, and re-fighting old battles over womens rights in todays time of reaction of retrenchment. The frankness with which Harriet relates her own experience is matched by equally candid insights into how a legal system that often rewards bad behavior and irrational decision-making shapes the culture at large and impacts those trying to navigate their way towards a bet.
