Only on the "CBS This Morning" podcast, CBS News legal analyst Rikki Klieman talks with attorney Gloria Allred about her 42 year career fighting for women's rights. They discuss what lead her to stand up against sexual discrimination, domestic violence, sexual harassment and fight for equality. She explains how her life experience of being raped at 22 and nearly dying from an then-illegal abortion motivated her to empower women and give them a voice. Allred discusses representing 33 female accusers against Bill Cosby, fighting to make the Friars Club open to women and representing Nicole Brown Simpson's family during O.J. Simpson's first criminal trial. Allred responds to critics and shares what she believes was the tipping point for the Me Too movement and has lead to what she calls the age of empowerment. |
