From award-winning author Kathleen Krull comes an empowering,
inspiring picture book biography--with dazzling illustrations from
artist Nancy Zhang--about the second female justice of the Supreme
Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
This picture book biography is the story of "Ruthless Ruthie," a warrior
for equality, a tireless defender of justice, and an inspiring
trailblazer for girls everywhere.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg may have been one of the most respected women in the
United States, but her recognition is nothing short of hard-won. For
years before becoming a justice of the Supreme Court, Ruth had to fight
the notion that being female meant that she was less smart, less
qualified, and less worthy of attention than her male counterparts.
Throughout college, law school, and her work life, she faced
discrimination--because she was a woman.
But it was in her fight for equality as a lawyer that she made an
imprint on American history, by changing the way the law dealt with
women's rights and by showing people that unfairness to women wasn't
just a female problem--that it negatively affected men and children,
too.
This picture book biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a strong choice
for the classroom and for sharing at home.
