Abstract
Joan Rachlin, born April 5, 1949, was among the first cohort of women to be educated at Dartmouth College. Her experience was marked by the political and social unrest of the 1960s and ‘70s surrounding the Vietnam War, women’s rights, and civil rights. Rachlin was a child of activist parents who encouraged her from an early age to get involved and stand up for the rights of others. As a result, she was among the few women participating in antiwar protests at Boston University and Dartmouth College. Later, Rachlin obtained her J.D. and continued her activism while practicing health, criminal, and civil rights law.
