“And now we have a fifth great document, the Charter of the United Nations.” The year is 1946, just after WWII, and she writes: “Since the beginning of time, the world has known four great documents, great because of all the benefits to humanity which came about as a result of their fine ideals and principles.” She is speaking about the Ten Commandments, Magna Carta, Bill of Rights, and Declaration of Independence. The collection begins with an editorial she wrote for her school newspaper in 8th grade. Each Part, and their attending chapters are set up with short introductions by Justice Ginsburg’s official biographers, Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. These are some of the pictures her stories paint.Īrranged in five Parts, the book includes editorials, speeches, tributes, remarks on some of the major cases of our era, and essays on the work of a Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States. An avid reader from early on who also happens to love opera. A mother herself juggling work-life balance. The strong work ethic and independent streak she got from her mom. Lucky in love to have met life partner, Marty, who was her champion in all things. Book Review by Eric Taylor, Evening Reference Librarian
