Feminism, Women's Leadership, and the Barrett Confirmation

Please join the Birnbaum Women’s Leadership Network at NYU Law and A Better Balance for a conversation about the gendered implications of the Barrett Supreme Court confirmation process. The panelists will discuss how the confirmation process highlighted the tightropes women walk in public life, the distinction between gendered attacks and legitimate scrutiny of a lifetime nominee to the Supreme Court, and the potential long-term effects of this appointment.

Registration is required; kindly register via Zoom. You will receive a confirmation email with the Zoom link and password after you register. For questions, please email womensleadership@nyu.edu.

This event is co-sponsored by If/When/How, Law Women, and the Women of Color Collective.
