EVENT DETAILS

The first two female Supreme Court justices, Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, have their differences—Republican and Democrat, Christian and Jew, rancher’s daughter and Brooklynite—yet both have transformed the Constitution and America itself, making it a more equal place for all women. Author Linda Hirshman explores their relationship and how they have helped shape the legal framework of modern feminism, forever changing American law and culture.   

Linda Hirshman, a lawyer and cultural historian, is the author of Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World. Jeffrey Toobin (moderator), bestselling author of The Nine: Inside the Secret World of the Supreme Court, is a staff writer at The New Yorker and a senior legal analyst at CNN.
