Mother’s Estate Will Be Example for Daughters

Wish

A mother who wanted to empower her daughters will continue to do so after her death, through her estate. Bianca Wisniewski sued her employer for sexual harassment to show her daughters that women can do what men can do.  A sudden and tragic accidental fire took her life.  Now, the daughters may learn the lesson their mother desired more directly: “The suit will continue after a representative, almost certainly one of the daughters, is appointed to take her mom’s place.”  Jonathan Lemire, Bianca Wisniewski’s $20M sexual harassment lawsuit to go on despite hardhat’s death in fire: lawyer, Daily News, Oct. 19, 2009.
