Dissenter on the BenchDissenter on the Bench

An "accessible and engaging" biography of the U.S. Supreme Court Justice, weaving together her life and influential work (School Library Journal). The life and career of the fiercely principled Supreme Court Justice with dramatic accounts of her landmark cases that moved the needle on legal protection of human rights, illustrated with archival photographs. Dramatically narrated case histories from Justice Ginsburg's stellar career are interwoven with an account of RBG's life—childhood, family, beliefs, education, marriage, legal and judicial career, children, and achievements—and her many-faceted personality is captured. The cases described, many involving young people, demonstrate her passionate concern for gender equality, fairness, and our constitutional rights. A 2020 Sydney Taylor Honor Book
