Anne F. Schlezinger’s book, Pulling It all Together: Diary by One of America’s First Jewish Women Federal Judges, Introduction by Prof. Shulamit Reinharz, Co-Director of Hadassah-Brandeis Institute narrates the story of one of the first Jewish women lawyers hired by the Federal government in the 1930’s and later became one of the first Jewish woman Federal judges in the 1960’s. She endured chauvinistic questioning before Congressional committees but eventually became a judicial insider in Washington, and her insights are interesting. Her struggle for professional recognition shows life changing from anti-Semitism and misogyny to acceptance of equitable participation as attorney and judge. She was a forerunner for Judges Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. “Pulling It All Together is a highly unusual, revealing and well-edited diary that introduces us to the life and work of one of America’s first Jewish women judges.” - Prof. Jonathan Sarna. The book is published by Gaon Books, and the ISBN is 9781935604013.
