Meadows Foundation Event

March 19, 2016 from 2-4 p.m. at the Van Liew-Suydam House,

Women Justices of the United States Supreme Court

As late as 1872, women were still denied the right to practice law in the United States. By 1884 they were given part-time, token judgeships, usually at the municipal level. It took another 97 years for the first appointment of a woman to the United States Supreme Court. That was a total of 191 years after the founding of the Supreme Court itself!

Four magnificent women have achieved the position of Supreme Court Justice to date. Join Trish Chambers Productions and the Meadows Foundation in a fascinating introduction to these accomplished jurists. Meet Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan. Learn how their unique personality and determination enabled them to break the glass ceiling to take their place in history, as they vote to clarify the intentions of the founding fathers regarding the United States Constitution.

Event to be held March 19, 2016 from 2-4 p.m. at the Van Liew-Suydam House, 280 South Middlebush Road, Somerset. Tickets are $10. For more information or to reserve a seat, please contact Chris Retz at Chrisflp@aol.com.
