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).
