"Justice Ginsburg's greatness has nothing to do with gender labels or feminist stances, nor with the debate between freedom and conservatism. Her life has had its ups and downs, as well as her unwavering perseverance. She has always been characterized by good human qualities such as integrity, tenacity, kindness, and dedication. If you are confused about the true meaning of life or the spirit of law, you can find the answers in this book."

What a wonderful book: annotated cases! Fascinating photos! Why she loved to write all night! A string of great cases she won as a lawyer, and how she chose them! How she made Bill Clinton cry! I thought I knew Ginsburg, but I was wrong. A great read about this extraordinary jurist, and you can laugh your way through it.
