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.
