Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was sworn in to the U. S. Supreme Court on August 10, 1993, but she was influencing a nation long before she sat on the highest court in the land. This oversized (9½"x11¼") biography chronicles Ginsburg's life, from her birth and early years in Brooklyn, to her time as a student, a professor, a mother and a wife, and as a groundbreaking lawyer, judge, and women's rights advocate. Including more than 100 engaging photographs, excerpts from "the notorious RBG's" own speeches and rulings, and a forward by award-winning filmmaker Mimi Leder (whose upcoming film, On the Basis of Sex, follows Ginsburg and her husband as they bring a revolutionary sexual discrimination case to the Supreme Court), this delightful tome is a must-have for RBG fans, history buffs, feminists, and civic-minded individuals of all ages.
