Ruth is an interesting person.She was born in 1933 to a Jewish family and to a mother who was confined by the current Day traditions.She saved $8,000 for Ruth to go to college. Ruth graduated from college and married her true love Marty Ginsburg. They had 2 children Jane and James. Ruth graduated from law school in 1959. She could only find a job as a law school teacher which paid less than a man in the same job. Ruth took on many ACLU cases. Then Jimmy Carter appointed her to Us Appeals court in Washington DC. Bill Clinton appointed her to the Us Supreme Court.Ruth worked hard for the common folk, men and women. This is a great book.10+++++

I was just reading Fast Company (September 2020) and then unwrapped this with a similar modern layout! It is certainly a 21st C. take on biography, written by millenial lawyers and cleverly laid out by three 'wretches' only credited in the fine print-- Carmon and Knizhnik should have been generous. Many aspects of the Justice's career are shared with readers.
"Legacy is a topic RBG won't linger on, because it has a note of finality. But she will take stock. 'In my life, what I find most satisfying is that I was a part ofa movement that made life better, not just for women,' RBG says. 'I think gender discrimination is bad for everyone, it's bad for men, it's bad for children. Having the opportunity to be part of that change is tremendously satisfying."
Notes, index.
