12:00 PM – Adam Eisenberg: A Different Shade of Blue: How Women Changed the Face of Police Work
Seattle Mystery Bookshop
“Through interviews with 50 female Seattle cops, Judge Eisenberg provides an historical overview on the impact of women on police work. Seattle was one of the first to put women in police uniform in 1912, first ever to have a woman promoted to captain in 1946 and one of the earliest cities to have women patrolling the streets with the equality of their male counterparts. Judge Eisenberg sits on the Seattle Municipal Court.” (SMB)
