Jennifer Lynn Klein (born June 26, 1965) served as Director of the Gender Policy Council and Assistant to the President in the Biden-Harris Administration until 2025.
She taught gender issues as an adjunct professor at Georgetown Law Center and served as a Senior Fellow at Brown University's Watson Institute.
[2] Starting in 2009, she worked as Deputy and Senior Advisor in the State Department's Office of Global Women's Issues in the Obama Administration.
"[2] In this role, Klein advises President Biden on a variety of issues ranging from women's economic security, reproductive rights, and gender-based violence.
[9] Klein said that the Dobbs decision removed a fundamental constitutional right from American women and said the only way to restore the protections previously provided by Roe v. Wade is through a federal law.
[10] She noted that women have been turned away from emergency rooms, forced to delay treatment, travel hundreds of miles for care, and even go to court to obtain the healthcare they need, and that doctors are leaving their home states due to laws that criminalize practicing medicine and hinder their ability to care for patients, despite their oaths to do so.
