My Own Words
Description
The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg—“a comprehensive look inside her brilliantly analytical,
entertainingly wry mind, revealing the fascinating life of one of our
generation’s most influential voices in both law and public opinion” (Harper’s
Bazaar). My Own Words “showcases Ruth Ginsburg’s astonishing intellectual
range” (The New Republic). In this collection Justice Ginsburg discusses
gender equality, the workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and
lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting
the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and
continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book’s sampling is
selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and
Wendy W. Williams, who introduce each chapter and provide biographical context
and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. Witty,
engaging, serious, and playful, My Own Words is a fascinating glimpse into the
life of one of America’s most influential women and “a tonic to the current
national discourse” (The Washington Post). Read more
