书籍介绍
这不是一本让人一口气读下去的书。许多读者翻过几页便放下：它不是跌宕起伏的传记，也不是酣畅的胜诉故事，而是一册演讲与文章的精选集，题材横跨平权、司法体制、犹太身份乃至宪法中的比较视野。但正因如此，它反而成为理解金斯伯格的独特入口——读者在这里听到的，是她本人的声音：坚定、缓慢、有力，又带着冷幽默。书中反复出现的，是一个被丈夫坚定托举、被

精彩摘录
- "Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea."
- "When a thoughtless or unkind word is spoken, best tune out. Reacting in anger or annoyance will not advance one's ability to persuade."
- "Earlier, I spoke of great changes I have seen in women's occupations. Yet one must acknowledge the still bleak part of the picture. Most people in poverty in the United States and the world over are women and children, women's earnings here and abroad trail the earnings of men with comparable educat"
- "As expressed by my brave colleague, the first woman on the Supreme Court of the United States, Justice Sandra Day O'Connor: For both men and women the first step in getting power is to become visible to others, and then to put on an impressive show...As women achieve power, the barriers will fall.

- "We shall be left with the blind, the lame, and the women"
- "Male students think law school is hard, while female students think they are stupid."
- "Those who deride women's liberation, or write off the current feminist appeal as simply a shadow operation in the wake of the civil rights movement, need adjust their sights."
- ""For both men and women the first step in getting power is to become visible to others, and then to put on an impressive show. ... As women achieve power, the barriers will fall.

用户评论
全书主要选取了Justice Ginsburg的文章和演讲，展现她对平权、公平、联邦/州政府、国会及最高院的职责等问题的看法，以及对法治的信心和信仰。全书分为五个部分。Part1比较普通；Part2-4有一些非常有意思的法案。作者用简练的语言表达了不同人/机构对这些案件的看法和判决时的逻辑。Part5 阐述司法独立的重要性和反对意见的意义。全书最喜欢的三个案例：VMI和VWIL的区别；Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. ；以及UT AUSTIN的TOP10录取原则。
20220122读完95页。原本以为是传记，结果只有很少一部分介绍了RBG的早年生活，后面几乎都是各个场合的演讲稿。可能比较适合听书。
The book is a selection of Ginsburg's writings and speeches on various topics. Although not the most exciting, Ginsburg's writing perfectly captures the principles of clarity, elegance and humanity. This book serves as a great addition to Notorious RBG。读的时候时常惊叹于她写作的功底，但个人还是更喜欢Marty的文字，那种深入骨髓的幽默和对于人生的轻松，实在太难得了。

对RGB文章和演讲的选段，还行。从最熟悉的材料抓英语语感ing...
Prejudice saves us a painful trouble.the trouble of thinking.
RBG的稿子真的是值得全文背诵的程度，对文字的掌控力和运用真是叹为观止
有点dry，基本都是RBG在不同时期的演讲的集合，非常适合边走边听。RBG以法律为手段，在其漫长的职业生涯中不懈地为实现性别平等而斗争。
虽然对法律本身兴趣不大 但是对律师群体充满了兴趣 RBG is an inspiration to us all.
