Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Jonah Winter
- Reading
- Pause at the court-case framing and invite your reader to identify what each example shows; afterwards, compare the biography’s account with the actual cases discussed in the author’s note.
- Themes
- Inequality and the law: Ginsburg encounters barriers connected to gender, Jewish identity and working motherhood, and goes on to become a lawyer, professor, judge and Supreme Court justice. The court-case structure presents evidence of injustice, and the author’s note describes some actual cases; the book frames these experiences through legal argument.
- Worth knowing
- These experiences may be worth discussing together.
