Rose Elizabeth Bird was forty years old when in 1977 Governor Edmund G. Jerry Brown chose her to become Californias first female supreme court chief justice. Appointed to a court with a stellar reputation for being the nations most progressive, Bird became a lightning rod for the opposition due to her liberalism, inexperience, and gender. Over the next decade, her name became a rallying cry as critics mounted a relentless effort to get her off the court. Bird survived three unsuccessful recall efforts, but her opponents eventually succeeded in bringing about her defeat in 1986, making her the first chief justice to be removed from the California Supreme Court.The Case of Rose Bird provides a fascinating look at this important and complex woman and the political and cultural climate of California in the 1970s and 1980s. Seeking to uncover the identities and motivations of Birds vehement critics, Kathleen A. Cairns traces Birds meteoric rise and cataclysmic fall. Cairns considers the instrumental role that thencurrent gender dynamics played in Birds downfall, most visible in the tensions between secondwave feminism and the many Americans who felt that a radical feminist agenda might topple longstanding institutions and threaten traditional values.
