Book Synopsis



A collection of key dissenting and majority opinions from U.S. Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

During her 27 years as an associate justice on the U.S. Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg became well known for her strongly worded dissenting opinions against the decisions of the conservative majority. Ginsburg was a fierce supporter of women's rights whose personal experiences helped shape her into a feminist icon who employed logical, well-presented arguments to show that gender discrimination was harmful to all members of society. Ruth Bader Ginsburg Dissents features 15 legal opinions and briefs, including majority and dissenting opinions that Ginsburg drafted during her time on the U.S. Supreme Court and briefs from her career before she was appointed to the court in 1993.



About the Author



Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020) was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. A graduate of Cornell University and Columbia Law School, Ginsburg forged a distinguished career, serving as a professor of law at Rutgers University School of Law and Columbia Law School, as the ACLU's general counsel, and as a judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, before being appointed to the Supreme Court in 1993. An advocate for women's rights and gender equality, Ginsburg was the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court. During her tenure as an associate justice, she wrote many majority opinions, as well as many fiery dissents. Ginsburg died at her home on September 18, 2020.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m one who is usually open to many different types of books. However, more of affection reader, and not nonfiction. I loved the cover of this book and the illustration on the front which portraits a very strong woman. However, I had a very difficult time getting through any of the portions of the material as it’s very dry reading. I would say it’s for a certain type of audience, but it just didn’t strike me therefore it was difficult to finish. I received an incentive to write this review.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I purchased this book online. This softback book is beautifully made with a soft cover and gold foil accents on the cover. It looks like a hardbound with the feel of a paperback. The content in this book is both important and informative. The book features 15 legal opinions and briefs by RBG. They are thought provoking and well written. Over the course of her 27 year career as an associate justice on the US Supreme Court, RBG made signifcat impacts to our justice system and country. This book documents that history. A must read for any history or legal buff. For the price, this is a beautifully crafted book at a very good price. I received an incentive to write this review.
