Professor publishes book focused on women in the U.S. Supreme Court
6/20/12
For almost 200 years, the U.S. Supreme Court has been an exclusively male-dominated institution. From 1981 to 2010, however, four women were appointed to the Supreme Court for the first time in U.S. history: Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. In her new book, Associate Professor of Communications Arts and Sciences Nichola Gutgold analyzes the rhetoric of these four women, while shedding light on the rise of political women in American judiciary.
