The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth
Bader Ginsburg--"a comprehensive look inside her brilliantly analytical,
entertainingly wry mind, revealing the fascinating life of one of our
generation's most influential voices in both law and public opinion"
(Harper's Bazaar).
My Own Words "showcases Ruth Ginsburg's astonishing intellectual
range" (The New Republic). 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 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, 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 and "a
tonic to the current national discourse" (The Washington Post).
