*Working Towards a Better World

 

Happy International Women's Day! :-)))

 

We women should have equal rights in every way and one strong proponent for this is President Jimmy Carter:

 

Equality is the soul of liberty; there is, in fact, no liberty without it. - Frances Wright

 

Women’s rights is not only an abstraction, a cause; it is also a personal affair. It is not only about us; it is also about me and you. Just the two of us. - Toni Morrison

 

I never doubted that equal rights was the right direction. Most reforms, most problems are complicated. But to me there is nothing complicated about ordinary equality. - Alice Paul

 

In science, all facts, no matter how trivial or banal, enjoy democratic equality. - Mary McCarthy

 

Until we get equality in education, we won’t have an equal society. - Sonia Sotomayor

 

Candor is a compliment; it implies equality. It’s how true friends talk. - Peggy Noonan

 

Thank you for your kind visit. Have a wonderful and beautiful day! xo💜💜

Penn President Amy Gutmann moderated a conversation at the National Constitution Center with Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Justice Sotomayor, the first Hispanic and the third woman on the U.S. Supreme Court, gave a candid, intimate look at her remarkable life as described in her new memoir, My Beloved World. She recounted her journey from a Bronx housing project to Princeton, Yale Law School, the New York County District Attorney’s office, and the Federal District Court, all before the age of 40—followed by her appointment to the nation’s highest court. Dr. Gutmann is a member of the Board of Trustees of the National Constitution Center.

Sonia Sotomayor Learning Academies High School L.A. River

In 1981 Sandra Day O’Connor (1930-2023) became the first woman to serve on the Court. O’Connor, a graduate of Stanford Law School, was serving on the Arizona Court of Appeals when President Ronald Reagan nominated her as an associate justice. O’Connor retired from the Court in 2006.

 

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020) graduated from Columbia Law School. She was serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia when President Bill Clinton nominated her as an associate justice of the Supreme Court in 1993.

 

Sonia Sotomayor (born 1954) received her J.D. from Yale Law School. She was serving on the United States Court of Appeals, Second Circuit, when President Barack Obama nominated her as an associate justice in 2009. She became the first Latino to sit on the Supreme Court.

 

Elena Kagan (born 1960) graduated from Harvard Law School. She was President Obama’s solicitor general when the president nominated her as an associate justice of the Supreme Court in 2010.

 

Nelson Shanks (1937-2015) was commissioned to create this portrait to recognize the accomplishments of all four justices. He has drawn on the traditions of Dutch group portraiture for his composition, and the setting is based on interiors and a courtyard within the Supreme Court Building in Washington. His best known works include his portrait of Diana, Princess of Wales and the portrait of President Bill Clinton for the National Portrait Gallery.

Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor said she "has fallen in love with Portland," rides a bicycle, and loves her job. What a woman, what an inspiriation!

Sonia Sotomayor was appointed to the Supreme Court in 2009. My Beloved World is the story of her life before she became the first Hispanic appointed to the court: her childhood in a Bronx housing project; her relationship with her grandmother who sheltered her from the meanness of the South Bronx; her dogged and brilliant march through public schools and the Ivy League; and her extraordinary legal career. My Beloved World is a book about self-discovery; Sotomayor, at the pinnacle of legal achievement, is still dazzled by the possibilities in America.

 

The Ivy Bookshop will have copies of the book, in English and Spanish language editions, for sale at the event.
