"The words 'untold story' always pique my interest, since those stories often contain wonderful surprises. A Matter of Simple Justice is just such a story. I am thrilled that our friend Barbara Hackman Franklin—along with President Nixon—is finally getting the credit she deserves for advancing the cause of women in the workplace."
—Barbara Bush

 

Although largely unknown today, the story of Barbara Franklin and "A Few Good Women" shaped the opportunities available to women for generations to come. Through both a historical narrative of this effort and fascinating interview excerpts with these women appointees, A Matter of Simple Justice shows how the advances that were made during this time by a Republican presidency both reflected the national debate over the role of women in society and took major steps toward equality in the workplace for women.
