At this time last year, I still knew little about RBG other than 1) she was a female justice and 2) she had passed away, but after a semester of reading her opinions and dissents in Constitutional Law and Reproductive Justice, I was wowed…

Short, simple biography. A bit dry. Impressive lady

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a tough little cookie and an amazing woman. Men and women both owe her a lot. A crusader for justice and true equality, she is a champion, a rock star even. This book gives the reader a fascinating glimpse into her…

Fascinating and inspirational, this book is also the basis for the excellent film "RBG".

I found that this book worked best for me when discussing Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life. I liked it less when RBG’s legal decisions were read. If I had been reading the book instead of listening to it, I could have skimmed those bits and felt…

Prior to picking up 'Notorious RBG,' my limited knowledge of Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her work extended more or less to an awareness of a tiny, venerable woman currently serving as a Supreme Court Justice. I knew nothing about her personal…

NOTORIOUS RBG is a fascinating tribute to the extraordinary Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, champion of gender equality and civil rights who became a pop culture phenom and sparked the catchphrase, “Can’t Spell Truth without…

I learned so much about RBG and what she has fought for and believes in and I would recommend this book to anyone who can appreciate a badass woman. In fact she could probably bench press me under a table. Could not recommend this book…

I read this while everyone else was playing on the beach. It was better than whatever anyone else was doing. It may not be for everyone but it was the best thing I've read for a long time. A touching, humorous, informative book on one of…

This was a seriously disappointing tribute to a phenomenal justice. It was neither particularly readable (filled with complex legal language) nor engaging. Look for My Own Words for a better picture of this remarkable woman. A lover of…

If you don't know who Ruth Bader Ginsburg is, you are missing out. She has been a GIANT in the women's rights movement, but not only has she been making life better for females, she is making this world a better place for EVERYONE!…

Staunch: adjective. 1. Very loyal and committed. 2. Of sturdy construction. This is RBG. And this is a wonderfully creative book about her. A must read for anyone who cares about equality for all and RBG's mission to make it happen.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg is fascinating and amazing and so interesting to read about. I also loved the art and photos throughout, the annotated decisions, and the other small but interesting details peppered throughout the book. Read this…

The format of this book is nearly as fun and interesting as "RBG" herself!

If you love Ruth Bader Ginsburg (and who doesn’t?!), then you’ll love this book. While she is most known for her judicial career, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has a lot of fascinating things going on in her life. The book describes her wonderful…

I read the book about Sandra Day O'Connor and RBG (Sisters in Law) on the court. Loved it. This book did not give me the same joy and satisfaction. In fact a lot of it was BORING.

I really loved this book; and of course I love the subject, Ruth Bader Ginsburg = the Notorious RBG! What a wonderful and inspiring role model she is for all of us. I found this book to be a fun, easy read with some great graphics/artwork,…
