How You Gonna’ Keep Her Down on the Farm

Lisa R. Pruitt, University of California, Davis

Abstract

This is a contribution to a collection of autobiographical essays, “One-L Revisited,” in which authors reflect on their experiences as first-year law students. The author of this essay recounts her experiences at the University of Arkansas School of Law (1986-87). She frames her recollections primarily in relation to her rural, working-class background and her later-acquired feminist politics.
