A Place to Stand

About this book

In A Place to Stand, Wille recounts coming of age between two powerful influences: the heritage Of women who came before her and the burgeoning women's movement. From intergenerational farm life to law school and a career, her life traces the arc of a generation of women who stepped through doors just beginning to open. Rich with family legacy and lore, personal and professional struggle, historical and legal inquiry, and thoughtful, hard-won insight, this memoir is both personal and collective. It asks how women become who they are, how history lives inside ordinary choices, and what it means to look back without sentimentality. This is the story of one woman's passage through growing up, marriage, motherhood, success, loss, grief, joy-and coming to terms with what really matters.
