Summary:
The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993. Ginsburg was appointed by President Bill Clinton in 1993. She is the second female justice (after Sandra Day O'Connor) and one of three female justices currently serving on the Supreme Court (along with Sonia Sotomayor and Elena Kagan). Before becoming a judge, Ginsburg spent a considerable portion of her legal career as an advocate for the advancement of women's rights as a constitutional principle. She advocated as a volunteer lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union. Co-authors Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they conducted. A fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential women. Includes a selection of writings and speeches by Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, on being Jewish, on law and lawyers in opera, and on the value of looking beyond United States shores when interpreting the U.S. Constitution. Throughout her life, Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential women.
