Little Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s mom taught her to be a lady — which meant to be her own independent self. Ruth promised herself she would do everything her mother didn’t get the chance to do. And she excelled: at school, as one of the rare women law students of her day, and as a law professor. She brought forth important cases that challenged laws allowing discrimination on the basis of gender. And when she was invited to join the U.S. Supreme Court — only the second woman ever raised to that bench — her incisive opinions and searing dissents made her a feminist icon!
In this empowering book from the Little people, BIG DREAMS series, kids will learn all about Ginsburg's life and ongoing influence. They'll be amazed to learn how many "firsts" Ginsburg achieved, and what rights they consider normal that she had to fight for. With stylish illustrations and detailed information at the back, this is a fun and inspiring introduction to the Notorious RBG!
