She is a graduate of Radcliffe College (A.B. 1976), where she wrote for the Harvard Crimson. She also has degrees from the University of Sussex (M.A. 1977), and the University of Pennsylvania Law School (J.D. 1983), where she was editor-in-chief of the University of Pennsylvania Law Review. After graduating law school, she worked as a law clerk for Judge Alvin Rubin of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, and then for Associate Justice Byron White of the United States Supreme Court. She practiced law with Bredhoff & Kaiser in Washington, D.C. She later served as associate editor of the eight-volume The Documentary History of the Supreme Court, 1789-1800, and her articles and essays have appeared in the Washington Post Magazine, The American Scholar, and The Gettysburg Review, among other places. Wexler is the co-author, with Judith C. Hochman, of The Writing Revolution. Wexler's award-winning first novel, A More Obedient Wife, is based on the lives and letters of two early Supreme Court justices and their wives. Her second novel, The Mother Daughter Show, is a satire set at an elite Washington, DC private school, where the mothers of graduating senior girls write and perform an annual musical revue. Wexler's third novel, The Observer, is based on the experiences of a woman who lived in early 19th-century Baltimore and was the first American woman to edit a magazine. More
