Inhaltsangabe

Judge Anne Schlezinger's diary is a window into American life in the twentieth century from the Great Depression to World War II, the McCarthy Era, the civil rights struggle, and the modern era of women's rights. Her struggle for professional recognition shows life changing from anti-Semitism and misogyny to acceptance of her equal participation as a woman attorney and judge. The diary gives a daily look into her life and how well she balanced profession, family, and social life. Anne Schlezinger was one of the first women lawyers hired by the National Labor Relations Board in the 1930's, and she was one of the early women judges at the Federal level. She helped open opportunities for women in the Federal judiciary, and her forty-one years with the NLRB helped shape labor law in the United States.
