Rosenthal earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of Rochester in 1980. She served as an assistant to Congressman Jerry Nadler for thirteen years. She was elected to the State Assembly in a February 2006 special election to replace Scott Stringer, who left the Assembly to become Manhattan Borough President.
In the Assembly, Rosenthal sits on the Housing, Energy, Agriculture, Corporations, and Alcohol and Drug Abuse Committees.
In 2006, the New York State Legislature passed Assemblymember Rosenthal"s landmark legislation allowing court orders of protection to be extended to pets. In May 2015, fellow Manhattan Democrat Richard North. Gottfried tried to curb a bill introduced by Rosenthal that would allow customers to bring their dogs to outdoor restaurants, because Gottfried was afraid larger breeds would be able to grab food from tabletops.
Gottfried said: "Some dogs are tall enough that all they would have to do is turn their heads and they would be eating off people’s plates." A similar bill that passed in California has not resulted in any problems, and the practice is also legal in Israel and some European countries. The bill passed the Senate in May 2015.
She resides on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
