About this item

The relationship between Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg transcends party, religion, region, and culture. Strengthened by each others' presence, these groundbreaking judges, the first and second to serve on the highest court in the land, have transformed the Constitution and America itself. Linda Hirshman's dual biography includes revealing stories of how these trailblazers fought for their own recognition in a male-dominated profession. She makes clear how these two Justices have shaped the legal framework of modern feminism, including employment discrimination, abortion, sexual harassment, and many other issues crucial to women's lives.
