Ruth Bader Ginsburg - Hardcover

by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara (Author), Judit Orosz (Illustrator)

In this book from the critically acclaimed, multimillion-copy best-selling Little People, BIG DREAMS series, discover the incredible life of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the beloved supreme court justice.

Little Ruth's mom taught her to be a lady--which meant to be her own independent self. Ruth promised herself she would do everything her mother didn't get the chance to do. And she excelled: at school, as a law professor, and later on the supreme court fighting gender discrimination.

Ruth became one of the most iconic figures in U.S. politics, standing up for what she believed in, fighting for racial and gender equality, and defending democratic values.

This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the justice's life.
