Ruth Bader
Ginsberg was born into a Jewish family where she learned many of the same
things the males learned. She was very smart, yet kept that part somewhat
hidden. She won scholarships to send her to college. She was known to her
family as Kiki, a nickname her older sister had given her. Her older sister was
only six or seven when she died. Kiki lost her mother the day before her high
school graduations.
This book is
not just about Ruth Ginsberg’s journey. The history of women before her who
helped pave the way is also told. It’s amazing how little I know, and how much
I learned about women’s rights in the 1600 – early 1900s. I am glad I was born
when I was. Ruth not only faced the issue of her gender and what it came to
was: Ruth not only faced the issue of her gender when it came to getting a job
at a law firm, but was banned because she was a mother and a Jew. Reading this
book shows that she didn’t let much stand in her way of what she wanted. You
don’t have to be her fan to learn so much about her and to enjoy the book. I
learned so much about this woman and what she did for equality for
everyone. It was definitely well
research, which is a trademark of this author. You can pick up any of her books
and know that she has spent hours making sure everything is accurate. This is
another reason to read this book. Yes, I would say that I would recommend this
book to my readers. It is quite clearly one of the best written books I have
read this year.
