At court-hosted Women’s history event, Brooklyn ‘Sheroes’ share journeys
To close out a month-long celebration of women’s history, four Brooklyn legislators and representatives, last Friday, shared the story of their journey and battle with gender and ethnic discrimination.
The event, titled “Weaving the Stories of Women’s Lives,” was held Fri., March 27 in the third-floor jury room at 141 Livingston St. The Gender Fairness Committees of Kings County Civil and Supreme Courts joined the Brooklyn Women’s Bar Association to host the lunchtime program.
Introducing the afternoon’s speakers, acting Brooklyn Supreme Court Justice Genine D. Edwards announced she was “exposing everyone to our sheroes.”
