The awesome woman for today is Mary Bonauto, born 1961, J.D. Northeastern University School of Law 1987. She was the lead counsel for GLAD in the Goodridge case, in which the Supreme Judicial Court of Massachusetts determined that gay couples have an equal protection right to be married. She's a brilliant lawyer and one of my heroes.
