Women have been involved in our nation’s legal system since its earliest days. For a long time, women couldn’t be admitted to law schools or state bar associations. Today, they’re filling seats on some of the highest courts in the land. Recently, Brigham Young University’s law school admitted its first class with more women than men. Law student and future mother Kristin Wilde is currently in her first year at BYU’s J. Reuben Clark Law School. Her husband Baxter Wilde will attend law school next year. Mr. and Mrs. Wilde are with us today to talk about their experience and how they balance school with children on the way.

Beyond the Map

18m

Our planet’s past is made, largely, of people deciding to explore the unknown. But what about modern-day explorers? With Google Maps ready to display almost any place you ask for and the internet primed to tell you everything about the ones you can’t find, it may feel to many people like that expansive world of explorers and stories is gone. Author Alastair Bonnett doesn’t see things that way. His book Beyond the Map explores the hidden and forgotten places here in our modern world. Set up as thirty-nine individual essays, Beyond the Map brings to light places like a ghostly boys’ school in Wales, the world’s smallest country, and argued-over islands. In Beyond the Map, Alastair Bonnett proves that the unknown is all around us, and that space may not be the final frontier after all.
