The young readers edition of this book keeps all the salient points while slashing the length, but looses some of its compelling nature by drastically rearranging the information included, editing the language a bit, and cutting out all extraneous content.

A colorful portrait of this dynamo and her legacy. She is missed!

My mom gave me these awesome bookends for my birthday! I got Kamala Harris and RBG, but they have other badass broads if you want a set: https://www.etsy.com/listing/864753627/build-your-own-feminist-icon-bookend-set?...

In need of something uplifting.

RBG + PBJ

Reading this made me miss her more if that‘s possible. Such a strong advocate for us while at the same time pure class. If y‘all haven‘t take time to read any book about this dynamic and inspiring woman you need to! She was more than a political figure, she fought for what she believed in or she didn‘t bother. We need so many more woman like her. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Off to school I go 🥶❄️

She was an amazing woman who brought about a lot of good for women, but I was a bit disappointed that this wasn‘t really a biography as much as a look at her work and career, and the changes she brought to US law. There were bits and pieces of her personal life, but not a lot. I listened to the audio and it was not interesting to listen to various laws being read. It was pretty short – it felt like it was abridged but it wasn‘t. This was “ok”.

'Gender discrimination is bad for all; it is bad for men and it is bad for children'. RBG worked towards building a more egalitarian world. Her consistent, dogged detemination made sure that through her judicial interventions, slow but steady change kept happening to make the world a better place. I find a message in her life's work- that all of us can work in our individual capacities to make the world a level playing field for everyone

There are many and I don‘t know which to choose!

I love how the title of each chapter is inspired by lyrics from the Notorious B.I.G. 👑

Not being am American, I can't say RBG had a huge impact on my life politically, but her story is so inspiring and motivating that I can't help but be impacted personally.

If you‘d like to read a book about RBG but just don‘t want to visit the Trump administration, this is a wonderful book. It was published in 2015 so devoid of that particular political discussion. Additionally, the book itself is beautiful.

V O T E!!!🗳

A brief summary of Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s accomplishments. I wish it was longer and more in depth but it was a satisfying read.
PS. I downloaded a couple of her workouts because I need to get myself back in a fitness routine. She‘s an inspiration in soooooo many ways 😉

I did 20 push-ups today. Barely made it. Been slacking on the exercise lately. Taking a cue from RBG. I'm going to workout so that I may live a long time & also so that I can VOTE. She did so much for us and voting is a way to honor that. Liked how book showed her accomplishments but also her life outside the court. Marty Ginsburg. 😍

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a #FreedomFighter as she fought for gender equality and was a champion for the rights of so many others who were marginalized. I feel bad that this book is still in my #TBR stack but I am hoping to get to it in 2020. #RiPRBG

And a new sweatshirt!

I finished my Dissent Cowl! #chooksoflitsy

My new shirt arrived!

This pattern uses DK yarn and it's working up fast.

My next step is to think about adapting it to fingering weight yarn and converting it into a sweater...

I've started making a Dissent Cowl.

A wonderful review of RBG, though I wish the authors used more primary sources in their research.

I could kick myself that I didn‘t take a picture of Justice Ginsburg at the National Book Festival last year. In my defense, I was busy helping folks find places to sit, but still...😢

I remember that she was gracious, funny, and tiny.

The main premise of the book in this picture is that conservative fundamentalist Christians held their noses about the orange one‘s dubious character issues because of the Supreme Court.

Well here we are 😱

"Reading is the key that opens doors to many good things in life. Reading shaped my dreams, and more reading helped me make my dreams come true." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg. ***Here is the link to the artist. Limited artwork is for sale https://www.stacyinnerst.com/

This is such a great loss for all those who loved her dearly, but also to the highest court in the land. She was a brilliant mind, a feminist, dedicated to her profession and just a great human. Her passing for me personally is extremely sad because I've followed her entire career and admire her immensely. RIP Justice Ginsberg 🤙

RBG, a queen of our times. This is a well-told, brief biography that highlights the things we should all admire about Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She was a resilient, hardworking, quietly ambitious woman from whom we all have plenty to learn.

Reading this book this weekend was an act of mourning for me. May her memory be for blessing. #ripRBG

It‘s been a hard few days, even reading can‘t help fight the anxiety & fear I feel.

Justice Ginsburg was as amazing person and fought hard for gender equality and women‘s rights. I want to learn more about her and this book is on my TBR.

I also signed a petition asking for her last wishes to be honored allowing the next president to nominate someone to fill her seat on the Supreme Court. Below is the link if you also wish to sign. Rest in Power, Ruth! 👊🏽👊🏾👊🏼👊🏿👊🏻👊

I‘d be remiss if I didn‘t express my sadness at the loss of this giant woman. She fought long and hard for all of us and for our humanity. Let‘s keep fighting.

#RBG

May her memory be a blessing.

The year up to this point has left me so numb I can‘t even begin to process that she‘s gone. Here‘s to hoping for even a fraction of the courage she exhibited right up until the very end.

I've been meaning to read this forever. RIP RBG!

Thank you Ruth for your courage, your relentless pursuit of justice, and for making the world a better place for women.

May her memory be a revolution. Rest in power, RBG.

This isn't about a book, but I've been feeling pretty hopeless about everything lately, and I wanted to share what I've been doing to take action to make the world a better place. I've started writing letters to voters through vote forward (www.votefwd.org).

It's super easy to do, even if you've never done anything like it before. I'd really encourage any of you who are feeling similarly to check it out.

Sorry, it‘s not a book, but I was just given these socks on Wednesday by my husband as a surprise since he knows how much I like and respect Ruth Bader Ginsburg. I‘m just so saddened. Thank you to all the Littens who have shared a post about her here in celebration of her life and accomplishments.

When I searched for a quote to post by Ruth Bader Ginsburg I quickly came to the conclusion did this woman ever say anything that wasn‘t worth repeating, that didn‘t mandate quoting in a social media post? She was brilliant and her life was a narrative for equality, representation, fairness and inclusion.

Maybe I should advocate cloning techniques allowing hope that another Notorious RBG will miraculously be the bench replacement.😳

So sad today 😭

I‘m deeply mourning the passing of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, both because she was an exceptional person and because of the implications for my country. I listened to this book on audio several years ago and loved it. #RBG #whentherearenine

My heroine passed. A powerful intellect & force of nature fighting for equality. Courage is her legacy. #rbg #myheroine #forceofnature #ripRBG

Thank you, Justice Ginsburg, for everything you did for American women. You are already missed and may we find a lasting way to honor your legacy. RIP. 😥
