Betsy
Jane Picker is a trailblazing attorney, fierce advocate for women’s rights, and now, debut author of the compelling memoir Betsy. Known for her pivotal role in the landmark Supreme Court case Cleveland Board of Education v. LaFleur, which struck down mandatory maternity leave policies, Picker has spent a lifetime breaking barriers—from co-founding the nation’s first nonprofit fighting sex discrimination in the courts, to championing global legal reform through U.S.-Russia legal exchanges. With Betsy, she brings the same bold clarity and conviction to the page, charting a personal and political journey that reshaped the law—and her own life.
