Shortlisted: Women in the Shadows of the Supreme Court By Hannah Brenner Johnson
Book Excerpt :
"This fascinating book reconstructs a chapter of women's history that has been hiding in plain sight: the numerous qualified women whose names were floated for the Supreme Court but who never got there. Just as they were overlooked, so have their individual stories been -- until now." - Linda Greenhouse, New York Times contributing columnist"[Shortlisted] tells the political and personal sagas of women publicly considered for appointment to the Supreme Court but never actually nominated by a president... With fresh research, the authors effectively humanize the women who never received the nominations they deserved." - Kirkus ReviewsIn 1981, after almost two centuries of exclusively male appointments, Sandra Day O?Connor became the first female Supreme Court Justice of the United States, a significant historical moment and a symbolic triumph for supporters of women?s rights. Most do not know, however, about the remarkable women shortlisted for the Supreme Court in the decades before
