Nadine Taub
Nadine Taub (January 21, 1943 – June 16, 2020) was an American lawyer who laid the essential groundwork for women's rights in the workplace, including defending and winning the first sexual harassment case in the US in 1977. Taub played a pivotal, but largely unrecognized, role in the development of sexual harassment law in the United States. As part of a group of young female lawyers in the 1970s, including Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Nancy Stearns and others, Taub made legal history by winning cases which argued that the Constitution protected women's rights.
Taub was born on January 21, 1943, in Princeton, New Jersey. Her father, Abraham Haskell Taub, a math professor, was teaching at Princeton when she was born. Her mother, Cecilia (Vaslow) Taub was a homemaker.
Taub attended Swarthmore College, receiving a B.A. in economics in 1964. She then got her law degree from Yale Law School, graduating with the class of 1968.
After her graduation from Yale, she provided legal services for low-income people in the Bronx. She then went on to work for the ACLU in Newark. After the ACLU, Taub starting teaching at Rutgers Law School in 1973 and continued until her retirement in 2000.
While teaching, Taub continued work as an active lawyer, was the faculty advisor for the Women's Rights Law Reporter (the first US legal periodical to focus exclusively on the field of women's rights law), and a member of the New Jersey Task Force on Domestic Violence.
In 2017, Rutgers honored Taub by creating a scholar's position in her name.
Soon after beginning her teaching position at Rutgers, Taub founded the Women's Rights Litigation Clinic (WRC) of Rutgers Law School, the first of its kind in the country. In the 1970s, legal clinics like this one were both a new source of legal representation and a new educational tool, where students were able to work on real cases.
As the WRC's director, Taub worked with students on many of the most important cases in her career from establishing sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination to developing ways for battered women to get protection from their attackers.
