  • Ruth Bader Ginsburg's Jurisprudence of Opportunity and Equality
    RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S JURISPRUDENCE OF OPPORTUNITY AND EQUALITY DeborahJones Merritt* & David M. Lieberman** Two timeless women embody the ideals of our nation. In New York Harbor, the Statue of Liberty proclaims: "Give me your tired, your poor, / Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free ... ."I In Washington, D.C., the statue Contemplation of Justice sits solemnly before the main entrance to the Supreme Court of the United States.2 Above her head, on the building's architrave, appear the words "Equal Justice Under Law." These two promises, of opportunity and equality, have marked our nation's vision since its founding. The pledge of "equaljustice under law" is a profound one, positing a judicial system free of corruption and favoritism as well as one that dis- dains distinctions of class and caste. The true achievement of our country has been not merely the original expression of this idea, but our willing- ness to expand our commitment, gradually, to include propertyless white men, former male slaves, other men of color, women of all races, people with disabilities, gay and lesbian citizens, and others within the circle orig- inally reserved for the propertied white men who founded our nation. We began with a transcendent principle, but we have also had the humility to recognize our failings and to revise our behavior to draw closer to our ideal. Ruth Bader Ginsburg's work embodies that quest, as well as the deli- cate balance between honoring the timelessness of our Constitution and recognizing the depth of its enduring principles in new centuries and under new circumstances.

    M-76 (rev. 09/14) n 1876, to commemorate 100 years of independence from Great Britain, Archibald M. Willard presented his painting, Spirit of ‘76, Iat the U.S. Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, PA. The painting depicts three generations of Americans fighting for their new nation’s freedom, one of whom is marching along though slightly wounded in battle. Willard’s powerful portrayal of the strength and determination of the American people in the face of overwhelming odds inspired millions. The painting quickly became one of the most popular patriotic images in American history. This depiction of courage and character still resonates today as the Spirit of ‘76 lives on in our newest Americans. “Spirit of ‘76” (1876) by Archibald M. Willard.

[Ludvig Holberg]. A Journey to the World Under-Ground. London: T. Astley . and B. Collins, 1742. $4000. First edition in English. A young graduate, Niels Klim, explores a cave near his home and falls down a shaft, only to discover a series of concentric worlds within our own. The novel’s setting is informed by contemporary scientific speculation: in 1692, extrapolating from Newton’s Principia, Edmund Halley had famously An Enlightenment-era feminist, Dano-Norwegian writer Holberg argued proposed that the earth was hollow, with at least in multiple works that women deserve the same educational and political one more sphere contained within its center. access granted to men, and Journey is “Holberg’s most feminist text” (Joan Templeton).

  • Nadell, Pamela S. America's Jewish Women: a History from Colonial
    Book Review Nadell, Pamela S. America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today. New York: W. W. Norton & Company, 2019. Reviewed by Eric A. Deutsch, University at Buffalo, NY, USA. Dr. Pamela Nadell’s academic career and specialization may be traced considering her first published monograph, Conservative Judaism in America (1988)i, and volumes she edited including Women and American Judaism (2001)ii and American Jewish Women’s History (2003).iii Despite appearing at first glance to perhaps consider on well-trodden material, Nadell’s most recent work, America’s Jewish Women: A History from Colonial Times to Today, finds the Women’s and Gender History Chair and Director of the Jewish Studies Program at American University’s best. The temporal scope of America’s Jewish Women is captured literally in the subtitle—but the title is arguably misleading in terms of the geographic breadth of Nadell’s work. Jewish American women, Nadell makes clear from word one, did not appear in the United States organically. Over three centuries, Jewish women left the diaspora for the United States, the result of push factors ranging from pogroms to following a family’s patriarch for the promise of a new— and better—commercial market. The subtext of Nadell’s thoroughly engaging and approachable monograph is that there is not one exemplar Jewish American woman. Emma Goldman, Emma Lazarus, Emma Wolf, Emma Mordecai – four women Nadell considered – represented the opportunities and limits facing Jewish women in the United States over the centuries of the nation’s existence. America’s Jewish Women utilizes a trove of sources ranging from New York’s Yiddish turn of the twentieth century periodicals to official reports to diaries of those women considered at a widely varying range of depth.
