Because of her gender, she had to come and go by the back door at the New Haven Graduate Club. She went on to champion civil liberties, litigating for the Black Panthers in the 1970s and winning the landmark Supreme Court case <i>Griswold v. Connecticut</i>. She passed away this week at age 87. <a href="http://www.courant.com/news/local/hc-roraback1020.artoct20,0,440481.story?coll=hc_tab01_layout">Read more about Catherine Roraback in her Hartford Courant obituary.</a></p> http://ms-jd.org/clippings-catherine-roraback-civil-rights-trailblazer#comments First Women civil liberties civil rights Connecticut Ms. JD clippings obituaries Yale Mon, 22 Oct 2007 13:21:59 -0500 Anna 501 at http://ms-jd.org
