Justice Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the second female Supreme Court Justice in U.S. history, passed away on September 18, 2020, garnering widespread global attention and coverage. This was due not only to her remarkable contributions throughout her life, but also to the profound impact her judicial stances had on the American political landscape and social movements. Ginsburg was a distinguished jurist, judge, lawyer, and pioneering American feminist. Facing historical inertia, social prejudice, and the constraints of precedent, she forged ahead, overcoming obstacles and, through her own actions, gradually rewriting American judicial history, transforming the status of American women, and making extraordinary contributions to the equal rights of other marginalized groups. Ginsburg was a symbol of judicial justice, and her tenacious and legendary life made her a national icon and cultural symbol, widely respected and admired. At the same time, her unequivocal stance and dissident views drew criticism from dissidents, placing her at the forefront of the current moment.
Drawing on 15 years of research and interviews, this book chronicles Ginsburg's life in detail. With a historian's insight and accessible prose, it reveals the transformation of American society and the judiciary, and how her life experiences shaped her personality and lifelong convictions. As a Jewish woman, Ginsburg became an unprecedented icon of her time, a young woman eager to embrace her. Her commitment to judicial justice ultimately became a lasting legacy.
