It is significant to note that as impactful as women’s advocacy can be, whether formal or informal, not all of the women profiled in this book were active in promoting causes or political agendas. For example, Kearse rarely speaks publicly outside the courtroom and did not take on leadership roles, even reportedly declining to serve as chief of the Second Circuit. But this may simply reflect a preference for how she used her time. As one reporter revealed, “Miss Kearse is a person of apparent contradictions. She loves physical activity, yet has chosen the contemplative path. Strangers are struck by her reserved demeanor, but those who know her well speak of her warmth. She is enthusiastic about her avocations and is a tournament bridge player, yet her work weeks stretch to 100 hours, leaving her little time for diversion.”28
