Title: Notorious RBG Pdf The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Irin Carmon: I heard you can do 20 push-ups.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Yes, but we do 10 at a time. And then I breathe for a bit and do the second set.

Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute. In a class of its own, and much to Ginsburg's own amusement, is the Notorious RBG Tumblr, which juxtaposes the diminutive but fierce Jewish grandmother with the 350-pound rapper featuring original artwork submitted from around the world.

Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers a rich, intimate, unprecedented look at the justice and how she changed the world. From Ginsburg's refusal to let the slammed doors of sexism stop her to her innovative legal work, from her before-its-time feminist marriage to her perch on the nation's highest court - with the fierce dissents to match - get to know RBG as never before. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.

boy am I disappointed I've been a huge fan of RBG and was looking forward to a thorough account and analysis of her life, career, and achievements. But this just isn't it.Sure it glosses over some major legal milestones, but it spends as much time on her workouts, wardrobe, baby pictures, etc. It contains a mere 200 sparsely printed but amply (and beautifully) illustrated pages, and really offers little other than coffee table amusement to any normal adult. I'm planning on either donating this to my son's middleschool library or gift it to a progressive minded pre-teen girl; that's the audience this book is pitched at.My fault, I guess. It's a lesson learned in online shopping; I should have gone to a physical bookstore to browse before buying.Giving 2 stars because it may be good for the right audience, i.e., inspiring pre-teens to the idea of public service.Don't get the Kindle version... :( Great so far, but DO NOT get the Kindle version. There are a lot of interesting pictures/graphics that contribute to the book and you will be very very sad to have to look at them on a Kindle screen - the adaptation is terrible. At least now, its more expensive than the hardcover version, which is ridiculous. I flipped through the actual book and it is laid out well and aesthetically pleasing... the Kindle version is not that at all. I'm really disappointed.Really makes clear why she didn't retire earlier An excellent book and very inspiring. I'm glad there is someone like her on the Supreme Court. One thing that stuck out for me was her explanation as to why she didn't retire early so that Obama could put in a good replacement for her. And the explanation was that many women have been pushed out early. And trying to push women out so they can make room for others isn't right. People were also trying to push out Breyer but RGB was the one getting most of the press for not leaving.
