I thoroughly enjoyed this series of essays by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. It ranged many topics from important cases she was involved in on the bench and at the bar, to her relationship with Justice Scalia, so even if one essay doesn’t take your fancy, there are always others! The most interesting part of the book, in my view, was Justice Ginsburg’s perspective on being a judge and the slow, measured pace of the law, even whilst being a progressive judge. I echo what others have said that this book is probably more enjoyable for lawyers and law students (I got this book as a present for my admission to the bar), but it could equally be interesting for those interested in politics to provide a perspective on how the courts have a different brand of politics than the legislative branch of government.

Just wow. Her contributions toward equal rights for women and the U.S. justice system will never be forgotten. This book captured her legacy beautifully. RBG was a fighter for the underdog, always. Truly a trailblazer for what she accomplished during her long life. While the subject matter and legal jargon were complex, it was worthwhile to listen to RBG's voice during the speech and lecture sections. 100% recommend the audiobook edition.

this book got me surprisingly into the Supreme Court & it’s workings… resulted in watching a bunch of YouTube videos ab the Supreme Court & reading a ton of wikis about specific cases. (shoutout to RBG for making the world a better place for women)
