In this collection Justice Ginsburg discusses gender equality, the workings of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book’s sampling is selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams, who introduce each chapter and provide biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted.
The New York Times bestselling book from Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg—“a comprehensive look inside her brilliantly analytical, entertainingly wry mind, revealing the fascinating life of one of our generation's most influential voices in both law and public opinion” (Harper’s Bazaar).
My Own Words “showcases Ruth Ginsburg’s astonishing intellectual range” (The New Republic).
Witty, engaging, serious, and playful, My Own Words is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women and “a tonic to the current national discourse” (The Washington Post).
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. (查看原文)

推荐大家去听Audible，有Ruth和Marty分别的发言原音。坚定，缓慢有力，又有幽默感。

强烈建议配合音频版食用，听RBG和Marty本人的录音。Marty绝对是RBG成功背后的厉害男人，用力地帮助别人快乐，默默地承受负面影响。为了把RBG精神贯彻在自己的生活中，今天又是和刻板印象作战的一天呢！PS，这本书作为文选，实在难以面面俱到，只能万中挑一，但我觉得还是选得很有代表性的，值得一读。

talking about role model, talking about relationship goal...I challenge anyone to disagree that RBG is notoriously perfect in both departments.

强推audible版，public speech and bench annoucement 都是原声，RBG 的发言声音听起来很温柔，但每个措辞每个dissenting opinion 都充满了智慧且铿锵有力
