NEW DATE- On Account of Sex: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Making of Gender Equality Law

We have rescheduled this event for Monday, April 15 – we hope to see you there!

Long before she became ​“Noto­ri­ous,” Ruth Bad­er Gins­burg was an attor­ney argu­ing gen­der equal­i­ty cas­es before the U.S. Supreme Court. The cas­es she won in the 1970s changed the mean­ing of the Con­sti­tu­tion, adding legal equal­i­ty for women to it. That is the rea­son RBG became the first Jew­ish Amer­i­can and the first woman to lie in state in the U.S. Capitol. 

Philip­pa Strum’s book presents the human sto­ries behind the cases. We are excited to welcome her virtually to Commonpoint Queens in partnership with the Jewish Book Council. Click here to buy the book.
