BETSY

Jane Picker didn’t just practice law—she rewrote it.

In an era when women were expected to stay quiet, compliant, and invisible, Jane marched into America’s courtrooms and refused to be silenced. She co-founded the nation’s first feminist law firm, the Women’s Law Fund, and turned it into a weapon against workplace discrimination. She took on police stations, corporations, and school boards—and won.

Her most defining battle came in 1974, when she stood before nine male justices at the U.S. Supreme Court to argue that pregnant teachers should not be forced out of their jobs. Against the odds, Jane made history—and changed the rights of working women forever.

Part biography, part courtroom thriller, Betsy tells the story of one unstoppable woman who faced down the boys’ club of American law with nothing but a briefcase, a sharp mind, and an iron will.

She didn’t just change the law.
She changed the game.
