Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

By Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik

    The name Ruth Bader Ginsburg has become almost synonymous with her fiery dissents. But she has done much more than that. As she grew up, she was constantly told that she was a girl - as though girls couldn't achieve as much as boys. Part of the reason she married Marty Ginsburg was because he saw her as an equal. Later, when they both attended Harvard and she had to transfer to Cambridge so that Marty could get a job, the Harvard Law School dean refused to give her a degree - one that was granted years later during her tenure on the Supreme Court.
