Publisher's Summary

Irin Carmon: I heard you can do 20 push-ups.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Yes, but we do 10 at a time. And then I breathe for a bit and do the second set.

Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute. In a class of its own, and much to Ginsburg's own amusement, is the Notorious RBG Tumblr, which juxtaposes the diminutive but fierce Jewish grandmother with the 350-pound rapper featuring original artwork submitted from around the world.

Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers a rich, intimate, unprecedented look at the justice and how she changed the world. From Ginsburg's refusal to let the slammed doors of sexism stop her to her innovative legal work, from her before-its-time feminist marriage to her perch on the nation's highest court - with the fierce dissents to match - get to know RBG as never before. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.

interesting, bite sized biopic of an amazing woman

a very easy to read/listen biography of RBG. there is a lot to learn from RBG and the way she rose to the height of her profession.
the book is generally excellent but does off the rails occasionally and devolves into just a list of soundbites and pithy quotes
overall, worth the read

I didn't want it to end

An excellent book. I didn't want it to end. It's inspiring, educational and entertaining at the same time.
