Book Title: Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A life

Author: Jane De Hart

Selection Statement:

I selected this book featuring Justice Ginsburg because her work has impacted me both personally and professionally. Her efforts to secure legal protections for women to attend school, access employment, and have financial independence shaped the culture I was born into. I have not known another way. Justice Ginsburg wrote the Olmstead Decision, one of the most important civil rights decisions for persons with disabilities and their rights to live in the community setting of their choice.
