Her Honor - Stories of Challenge and Triumph from Women Judges

Edited by Lauren Stiller Rikleen

At a time when surveys reveal declining trust in our courts,
this book offers reasons for hope and even pride. Her Honor features a collection
of personal stories by and about some of the country's most respected female
judges. Each chapter author openly shares nuanced stories of challenges and
successes, including the inequality, bias, and other barriers they faced and
overcame in their lives.

The
25 judges featured in Her Honor are from all levels of the state and
federal courts, including Chief Judges and two Supreme Court Justices. Their
moving stories will be all too recognizable by women who may currently be
experiencing similar challenges and biases in their own career.

Her Honor also demonstrates how the best of our judges share a
passion for ensuring an accessible and fair system of justice, without a
political agenda. They reveal a deep compassion for humanity along with an
abiding respect for the law, respecting precedent but acting with courage if
the law offers a way forward.

All the judges in this book
have lived lives of deep influence. The stories shared will extend that
influence further and inspire future generations to persevere in their careers during
even the most difficult times.

The Shield of Silence: How Power Perpetuates a Culture of Harassment and Bullying in the Workplace looks at the culture of the workplace and its impact on women and other groups who bear the impact of sexual harassment, bullying, lewd and inappropriate remarks, and other behaviors that can negatively impact the experiences of people each day.

The Shield of Silence compellingly argues that sexual harassment and other negative behaviors will not be stopped unless the condition that drives victims and bystanders into silence - the overriding fear that reporting misconduct will result in retaliation - is eliminated.
