About this item

Speaking the Ruth to AmericaRuth Bader Ginsburg became a Supreme Court Justice in 1993, but her popularity has exploded over the last couple of years as she has been adopted as a modern feminist icon. An octogenarian who has proven that disagreeing does not make one disagreeable, Ginsburg is well-known for her pithy observations as well as her strongly argued dissents. Beloved by many - including her ideological opposition, former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was her dear friend - Ginsburg's wisdom has never been more relevant or more important to American democracy.Sample quotes:"Women belong in all places where decisions are being made ... it shouldn't be that women are the exception.""Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
