Title: My Own Words Pdf
The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993 - a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women's rights, and popular culture.
My Own Words is a selection of writings and speeches by Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways 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 contains a sampling selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers, Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams. Justice Ginsburg has written an introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential women.
This audiobook features archival original recordings of Justice Ginsburg's speeches and bench announcements.
A bit dry I truly appreciate how Bader Ginsburg has served her country. Her wisdom and judgements have helped us grow. Unfortunately, the editing and intentions of this book relied so heavily on the legal verbiage that we lost some of Ginsburg's sparkle.Attorneys Should Find This Book Worthwhile Members of the legal profession are likely to get more from this book than those who are not. Our book club, comprised of many professions, divided along these lines. Many redundant areas - if you're not seeing the legal specificity. Very interesting on the personal level and for the cogency of her remarks given in a wide variety of venues. Understanding the trajectory of her career is awe inspiring, as is the familial relationships.RBGs first book as a judge on the Supreme Court - interesting read! First I'd say that I'm a moderate in my political views and with this book you do not need to be a liberal to enjoy it. I've been a fan of Ruth Ginsburg since her appointment in the 90s. Her tell of being the 2nd woman appointed and her relationship with Justice O'Connor and the friendship with the late Justice Anthony Scalia. There are funny parts to the book detailing her wit and charm. It was amazing to find out that she sleeps very little when in court is in session and that she doesn't cook (her family prepares homemade frozen entrees for her). The book is 400 pages long but well laid out and allows the reader to skip around and read at your leisure. There are a few black and white pictures and pictures on notes she wrote. I usually only read digital books these days but this is a nice book to own and keep in your library. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
