Abstract

Abstract The daughter of Roman and Aurelia Bordin Pucinski, Aurelia Marie Pucinski earned a baccalaureate degree in history from Catholic University of America in Washington, DC, and a JD from DePaul University College of Law in Chicago. In 2004, she became a judge on the Cook County (Illinois) Circuit Court and in 2010 gained election to a seat on the Illinois Appellate Court. As the daughter of Roman Pucinski and a community activist in her own right, she provides in this memoir an intimate “insider” look at her father's work as a congressman and an alderman and in the Polish community, as well as that of her grandmother, Lidia Pucinski.
