520    "Rose Elizabeth Bird was forty years old when in 1977 
       Governor Edmund G. "Jerry" Brown chose her to become 
       California's first female supreme court chief justice. 
       Appointed to a court with a stellar reputation for being 
       the nation's most progressive, Bird became a lightning rod
       for the opposition due to her liberalism, inexperience, 
       and gender. Over the next decade, her name became a 
       rallying cry as critics mounted a relentless effort to get
       her off the court. Bird survived three unsuccessful recall
       efforts, but her opponents eventually succeeded in 
       bringing about her defeat in 1986, making her the first 
       chief justice to be removed from the California Supreme 
       Court. The Case of Rose Bird provides a fascinating look 
       at this important and complex woman and the political and 
       cultural climate of California in the 1970s and 1980s. 
       Seeking to uncover the identities and motivations of 
       Bird's vehement critics, Kathleen A. Cairns traces Bird's 
       meteoric rise and cataclysmic fall. Cairns considers the 
       instrumental role that then-current gender dynamics played
       in Bird's downfall, most visible in the tensions between 
       second-wave feminism and the many Americans who felt that 
       a "radical" feminist agenda might topple long-standing 
       institutions and threaten "traditional" values"--

520    "This biography of Rose Elizabeth Bird is an overdue look 
       at California's first female supreme court chief justice, 
       against the backdrop of California's political and 
       cultural climate in the 1970s and 1980s"--|cProvided by
