You've probably seen her on t-shirts, mugs, and even tattoos; now the story behind that famous faces comes to light in this Who Is? biography! Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is famous for her stylish collars (called jabots) and her commanding dissents. This opera-loving New Yorker has always spoken her mind; as a young lawyer, RBG advocated for gender equality and women's rights when few others did. She gained attention for the cases she won when arguing in front of the Supreme Court, before taking her place on the bench in 1993.
Author Patricia Brennan Demuth answers all the question about what makes RBG so notorious and irreplaceable in this accessible biography. Kids will learn about her journey through law school during a time when women made up only a handful of law students, her most important court victories, and her key decisions on the Supreme Court bench. It's a compelling look at the inspiring life behind this iconic figure!
