Irin Carmon
“A conversation with her is a special pleasure because there are no words that are not preceded by thoughts.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Irin Carmon
“When the jabot with scalloped glass beads glitters flat against the top of RBG's black robe, it's bad news for liberals. That's her dissent collar.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Irin Carmon
“So when RBG was asked how she had managed to have such an extraordinary marriage, she often answered by saying that Marty himself was extraordinary, and he saw the same in her.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Irin Carmon
“She likes to quote the opening words of the Constitution: “We the People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union.” Beautiful, yes, but as she always points out, “we the people” originally left out a lot of people. “It would not include me,” RBG said, or enslaved people, or Native Americans. Over the course of the centuries, people left out of the Constitution fought to have their humanity recognized by it. RBG sees that struggle as her life’s work.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Irin Carmon
“RBG’s old friend Gloria Steinem, who marvels at seeing the justice’s image all over campuses, is happy to see RBG belie Steinem’s own long-standing observation: “Women lose power with age, and men gain it.” Historically, one way women have lost power is by being nudged out the door to make room for someone else.”
Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
