My Own Words

by Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My Own Words
My Own Words

Insightful journey through Ginsburg's legal mastery.

If you're intrigued by the inner workings of a Supreme Court Justice's mind, especially one as iconic as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, "My Own Words" offers that chance. You'll find a unique blend of personal anecdotes, deep reflections on law, and cultural insights all articulated with the charm and intelligence that defined Ginsburg's career and persona. It's a window into the thoughts of a woman who shaped legal discourse and fought for gender equality, making it a compelling read for both law enthusiasts and those inspired by Ginsburg’s life and work.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993—a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women’s rights, and popular culture. My Own Words offers Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways 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 has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book’s sampling is selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams. Justice Ginsburg has written an introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women.
