Hi: A bit of self-promotion for a book talk I think a lot of you would enjoy, so I hope you'll mark Sept. 5, the Thursday after Labor Day, to be at Porter Square Books at 7:00 for this talk. Find out why this well-known court case, Ludtke v. Kuhn, as in MLB Commissioner Bowie Kuhn, was not about the ballplayers' nudity - even if the men writing about me and my at the time tried to make it so – but it was a fight for women's equal rights during the 1970s, when women fought to overturn laws and policies that promoted gender discrimination. Discover, too, why Kamala Harris called out my judge's name -- Constance Baker Motley – in her acceptance speech at the DNC last Thursday when she described her as being among the legal giants of the Civil Rights Movement, a woman who influenced her to go into public service law. Share this invitation with friends. It will be wonderful to see you there, Melissa Buena Vista Park [image: Screenshot 2024-07-22 at 10.15.36 AM.png] Use this link to register for the talk ... doing so gives the folks at Porter Square Books a sense of how many people intend to attend re: seating and books: https://www.portersquarebooks.com/event/melissa-ludtke-author-locker-room-ta...
