Synopsis

A fascinating collection of writings from one of America’s most influential women, My Own Words is a testament to the breadth of insight and sense of humour of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

In this collection Justice Ginsburg discusses gender equality, the workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution.

Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg was a prolific writer and public speaker. This book's sampling was selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, who introduce each chapter and provide biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted.

Witty, engaging, serious, and playful, My Own Words is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential women.
