4.5 Stars. I was slightly disappointed whenever I saw the pronouns she or her because if you write a book in your own words shouldn’t it be in first person not third or a combination of first and third? Anyway. Despite that tiny flaw I was enthralled! I have learned so much about our supreme court system and the early fighters for gender equality in the US through reading this book. Granted, I knew next to nothing upon picking up this book, but I still learned a great deal, like 0-100 in a few days. And it was so simple too! If I’d had this book in my AP high school government class, I think I could have actually had enough courage to take the AP test. Or maybe not, the only part I remember from that class was the economics section and I only remember that because I wrote the greatest literature review ever on how judeo-christian beliefs have structured our spending patterns in the United States that was, honestly, thesis/dissertation material (and somehow I didn’t study that in college??) WOW. Now I’m rethinking all my life choices.
Back to the matter at hand, RBG is an amazing woman and upon reading her autobiography/biography hybrid thing I have decided to read autobiography/memoir/biography things about all our female court justices. And maybe I’ll actually buy them instead of getting them from quarantined library stacks or off Libby. (God Bless the creators of Libby/Overdrive).
