Then Comes Marriage: United States V. Windsor and the Defeat of DOMA by Roberta Kaplan

5.0

I drew out my time reading this because I wanted it to last. Robbie isn't a novelist so it's not the most literary book I've read this year, but the care she puts into her briefs for her clients comes through in this beautiful story. It reads as if she's telling you about the case over wine one evening; she fills you in on the inside jokes and the coincidences, making the legal jargon understandable and more importantly – relatable. What struck me most is how incredible the story is, from the parallels of her life and Edie's to the meditation on Judaism throughout the book. Learn about this chapter of history, cry at these love stories, and celebrate this book about two Jewish lesbians who grew in different times and in our time, made a difference that helped change America.

It was an honor to meet her and personally thank her for the work she has done for LGBT rights.
