• Ruth Bader Ginsburg's first book after becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993 is a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who 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 workings of the Supreme Court, on being Jewish, on law and lawyers in opera, and on the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life, Justice Ginsburg was 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 wrote an introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they conducted. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America's most influential women.
