Description

Introduction
Ginsburg, the second female Supreme Court justice in U.S. history, died of illness on September 18, 2020, attracting global attention and widespread coverage. This is not only because of Ginsburg's outstanding contributions throughout her life, but also because of the profound impact of her judicial stance on the American political landscape and social movements. Ginsburg is an outstanding jurist, judge, lawyer, and a pioneer of American feminism. Faced with the inertia of history, social prejudices, and the constraints of precedents, she overcame all obstacles and, through her personal actions, rewrote the history of American justice step by step, changed the status of American women, and made extraordinary contributions to the equal rights of other marginalized groups in society. Ginsburg is a representative of judicial justice. Her tenacious and legendary life has made her a national idol and cultural symbol, widely respected and admired. At the same time, Ginsburg has also been criticized by people with different political views for her clear stance and "dissent", and is at the forefront of the times.
This book combines 15 years of long-term research and interviews to record Ginsburg's life in detail in chronological order. With the insight of a historian and fluent writing, it shows the changes in American society and judicial mechanisms, and how her life experiences shaped Ginsburg's personality and lifelong beliefs in the process. As a female Jewish Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg has become an unprecedented idol of the times that young people are vying to pursue. Her pursuit of judicial justice has eventually become a social spirit that will last forever.
