The confirmation of Elena Kagan will put, for the first time in US history, three women serving concurrently on the US Supreme Court. AAUW Executive Director Linda D. Hallman stated upon her nomination, "The President has selected a woman who has been a trailblazer throughout her distinguished legal career, holding such positions as the first woman dean of Harvard Law School and first woman solicitor general of the United States. AAUW is pleased to note that, if confirmed, the Supreme Court will have three women justices serving concurrently for the first time in history-breaking through yet another barrier for women and girls." AAUW congratulates the soon-to-be confirmed Kagan and looks forward to the breaking of many more barriers to come.
