Authors Harriet Cohen and David Feinberg will be at the Norfolk Library on Sunday, March 22 from 3:00 to 4:00 p.m. to speak about their book “Passion and Power: A Life in Three Worlds” (to be released on February 6.)
“Passion and Power: A Life in Three Worlds” is about the life and career of Harriet Newman Cohen, one of the nation’s most celebrated divorce attorneys, as she navigated the male-dominated legal world from the 1970s to today. This sweeping narrative details Harriet’s journey through three worlds: raising a family at a time when men held all the power, graduating from law school on the cusp of the “divorce revolution,” and re-fighting old battles over women’s rights in today’s time of reaction and retrenchment. Writing with candor and humor, Harriet describes her encounters with celebrities, mentors, notable judges, allies, and adversaries. Following the book talk, Harriet and co-author David Feinberg will sign copies of their book.
