A new biography celebrates the life of a true trailblazer. "Her Honor" by Star Tribune columnist Lori Sturdevant tells the story of Rosalie Wahl. Wahl, who died in 2013, was the first woman to serve on the Minnesota Supreme Court. The path that brought her there was a remarkable story which started on a farm in Kansas. Wahl would overcome many obstacles to become a leader of the women's movement in Minnesota. MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with the author of the book Lori Sturdevant.
