NPC Book Event
Registration/tickets required
Judge Patricia A. Broderick, a senior judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, will discuss her new book “Reinventing the Wheel: Hard Roads Can Lead to Beautiful Places” at a National Press Club Headliners Book Event on Tuesday, June 25 at 6 p.m.
She will be joined by Sen. Tom Harkin, one of the main authors of the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act.
After suffering life-changing injuries in a car accident as a teenager, Broderick resolved to forge a new path through life as a woman in a wheelchair. What followed was a life of career achievement and personal adventure (skiing!), but not without challenges.
Tickets cost $5 for National Press Club members and $10 for the general public. Pre-ordered books will be available for pickup and signing at the event. A limited number of books will also be available for purchase at the door.
The program will include a question-and-answer session. To submit a question in advance, put JUDGE in the subject line and email it to [email protected].
