A Tribute to RBG: “The Genius of Women” with Bestselling Author Janice Kaplan
Wednesday, October 28 at 7 PM on Zoom
JCC of Northern NJ
Ticket price: $10; seniors; first responders welcome for free; contact events@jccnnj.org to receive your complimentary ticket
Last March, as part of Women’s History Month, the JCC of Northern NJ had planned to host author Janice Kaplan and hear about her new book, The Genius of Women: From Overlooked to Changing the World. The COVID-19 pandemic ambushed our original plans. On October 28, however, our event will be reimagined, as an online event, and as a tribute to the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg z”l. The timing of this event seizes the moment to celebrate the life and success of Ginsburg and also narrowly precede our national Election Day.
Ms. Kaplan will share the stories that built her book, of women who faced challenges and obstacles and who succeeded nevertheless, just like RBG. Participants are encouraged to purchase their book, The Genius of Women: From Overlooked to Changing the World, on Amazon or from their local bookstore.
