/>You might not remember Michelle Mumford, but I bet folks at Milbank Tweed Hadley & McCloy still do. That’s because she said that being a pregnant associate in Milbank’s litigation department was akin to being “a leper in the public square—ignored, shunned, rejected.” She said that in 2003, after quitting Milbank in frustration, when I interviewed her for The American Lawyer about women in Big Law.
I thought Mumford took a brave stance at the time (photo above with her baby from the article). I also thought it was career suicide.
