Gloria Allred - Definition and Overview

Gloria Allred (born Gloria Bloom on July 3, 1941 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States) is an American radical feminist lawyer and radio talk show host. She is a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania.

She is currently representing Amber Frey in the court case against alleged killer Scott Peterson.

She has also represented cases against the Boy Scouts of America for not allowing girls, something she referred to as gender apartheid, a case against K-Mart for having both a boys and a girls toys section, as well as representing actress Hunter Tylo when producer Aaron Spelling fired her because of her pregnancy.

She has stirred much controversy with her outspokenness. She has called California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger a Nazi sympathizer stating there were "six million reasons not to vote" for him and also referred to US President George W. Bush as the President select. She also once referred to US Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas as an Uncle Tom.

After she brought the lawsuit against the Boy Scouts of America, she was asked if she would represent a man suing the WNBA, LPGA or a womens college. Allred responded,"That's a good question. I don't have an answer for you."

She also co-hosts a radio talkshow with Mark Taylor on KABC Los Angeles.
