Must Read

Great Book, there was so much I didn’t know about Ruth(& I am sure she got a long list of of how she fought for equality rights) She is one of the strongest woman who always fought for equality rights. She truly will be missed but not forgotten.

This is an informative book. It is very surface level about Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life. The kindle edition has convenient definitions for words you might not know written above the text.

Content Warnings:
Graphic: Cancer and Sexism

The Notorious RBG

A woman of unimaginable tenacity, and a force to be admired for all generations for her tireless fight for equality. The aptly dubbed Notorious RBG. Though the telling of her life in this version jumps around a bit, anything highlighting this amazing human being is well worth the telling.
