A picture book biography of the "notorious" Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the first Jewish female Supreme Court Justice, by acclaimed children's book author Jonah Winter
From author Jonah Winter and illustrator Stacy Innerst, Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Case of R.B.G vs. Inequality is a picture book biography of the great Supreme Court Justice.
A New York Times Best Illustrated Children’s Book of 2017
An ALA/ALSC Notable Children’s Book
To become the first female Jewish Supreme Court justice, the unsinkable Ruth Bader Ginsburg had to overcome countless injustices. Growing up in Brooklyn in the 1930s and ‘40s, Ginsburg was discouraged from working by her father, who thought a woman’s place was in the home. Regardless, she went to Cornell University, where men outnumbered women four to one. There, she met her husband, Martin Ginsburg, and found her calling as a lawyer. Despite discrimination against Jews, females, and working mothers, Ginsburg went on to become Columbia Law School’s first tenured female professor, a judge for the US Court of Appeals, and finally, a Supreme Court justice.
Structured as a court case in which the reader is presented with evidence of the injustice that Ginsburg faced, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the true story of how one of America’s most “notorious” women bravely persevered to become the remarkable symbol of justice she is today.
“The text, informative without overwhelming, is extended by an author’s note describing some of Ginsburg’s actual court cases . . . From cover to cover, a lovingly made volume that succeeds on every level. A beautiful example of what a picture book can be.” —Kirkus Reviews (Starred Review)
