Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg by Irin Carmon, Shana Knizhnik
4.0
I'm so glad I've read this, so glad I know more about RBG.
So much of "typical" feminist history is steeped in whiteness, and it was a relief to see all the ways that RBG has tried to avoid that. And everything about her relationship with her husband! How wonderful! And I didn't know anything about it until reading.
I think it was probably especially interesting to read this now while Hillary's new book is coming out and she's giving interviews, and seeing that response. It's reassuring that some amazing people are on our side, despite a lot of bullshit they face.
