Friends,

The Violence Against Women Act was signed into law by Bill Clinton 30 years ago today, on September 13, 1994. At the time, I was secretary of labor in the Clinton administration.

The Act seeks to protect women against men who are typically physically stronger and often possess resources and status that women do not. As president, Bill Clinton took advantage of a young White House intern. When news of this broke, I was out of the administration, but I was and still am deeply upset by it.

Allow me to go further back, to 1973 — the year I entered Yale Law School, along with Bill Clinton and Clarence Thomas. (Hillary had matriculated the previous year.)

All of us were there when the Supreme Court decided Roe vs. Wade, protecting a pregnant woman’s right over her body, under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.
