Passion and Power: A Life in Three Worlds, the memoir of Harriet Newman Cohen, was reviewed in the New York Law Journal by Daniel Kornstein, Esq. on May 4, 2026.

Kornstein praises the book as an unusually candid, remarkable and inspiring account of a life shaped by persistence, purpose, and the pursuit of justice, told with frankness, verve and self-understanding. Reflecting on Cohen’s extraordinary career in matrimonial law, divorce reform, and advocacy, Kornstein concludes that “this fine memoir, with its many cultural references, similes and metaphors, makes one want to read on. The timeliness, topicality, candor and style of the memoir attract wider interest and lay bare the struggles -- emotional as well as professional -- involved in a life and career. Cohen may be a divorce lawyer, but this is not a book about divorce. It is a book about the flame-like, tireless human spirit.”
