书籍简介

她是第107届*高法院大法官中第一位真正意义上的人物，也是我们这个时代深刻具改革性的法律思想之一。这是一本历时15年的著作，由金斯伯格本人与露丝·巴德·金斯伯格合作完成，根据对这位法官、她的丈夫、孩子、朋友和同事的多次采访。

在这部篇幅庞大、内容全面、具有启发性的传记中，简·德·哈特探讨了影响金斯伯格对正义的热情、她对性别平等的倡导、她细致的判例的关键经历:她希望让我们人民更加团结，让我们的联邦更加完美。她的故事和信仰的核心是她的犹太背景。Tikkun olam是希伯来语“修复世界”的训诫，对一个在大屠杀和二战期间长大的小女孩有着深远的意义。

我们看到了她的母亲西莉亚·阿姆斯特·巴德的影响，她的才智激发了她的女儿的女权主义，坚持让露丝变得独立，因为她目睹了她的母亲对付晚期宫颈癌的过程(西莉亚在露丝17岁高中毕业的前一天去世)。

露丝任教布鲁克林的詹姆斯·麦迪逊高中,康奈尔大学,哈佛大学和哥伦比亚大学法学院，在罗格斯大学法学教授(为数不多的女性,挑战薪酬歧视),隐藏她第二次怀孕,以免失去她的工作;创立了《妇女权利法记者》，为第一个说服*高法院废除一项性别歧视州法的案件撰写辩护状，后来又在哥伦比亚大学任教(该校法学院的第一位终身女教授);成为美国公民自由联盟(ACLU)妇女权利项目的负责人，通过一系列决定说服*高法院禁止那些剥夺女性与男性完全公民身份的法律。

她在美国哥伦比亚特区巡回上诉法院工作的岁月，就像她打高尔夫球的方式一样，她是左撇子，用右撇子打高尔夫球——向左瞄准，向右挥杆，击中中间。

她在*高法院的岁月…

她的开拓性生活和法律生涯给美国法理学、美国社会、我们美国人的性格和精神留下了深刻的印记，这将在21世纪及其以后产生深远影响。

The first full life—private, public, legal, philosophical—of the 107th Supreme Court Justice, one of the most profound and profoundly transformative legal minds of our time; a book fifteen years in work, written with the cooperation of Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself and based on many interviews with the justice, her husband, her children, her friends, and her associates.

In this large, comprehensive, revelatory biography, Jane De Hart explores the central experiences that crucially shaped Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, her meticulous jurisprudence: her desire to make We the People more united and our union more perfect. At the heart of her story and abiding beliefs—her Jewish background. Tikkun olam, the Hebrew injunction to “repair the world,” with its profound meaning for a young girl who grew up during the Holocaust and World War II.

We see the influence of her mother, Celia Amster Bader, whose intellect inspired her daughter’s feminism, insisting that Ruth become independent, as she witnessed her mother coping with terminal cervical cancer (Celia died the day before Ruth, at seventeen, graduated from high school).

From Ruth’s days as a baton twirler at Brooklyn’s James Madison High School, to Cornell University, Harvard and Columbia Law Schools (first in her class), to being a law professor at Rutgers University (one of the few women in the field and fighting pay discrimination), hiding her second pregnancy so as not to risk losing her job; founding the Women's Rights Law Reporter, writing the brief for the first case that persuaded the Supreme Court to strike down a sex-discriminatory state law, then at Columbia (the law school’s first tenured female professor); becoming the director of the women’s rights project of the ACLU, persuading the Supreme Court in a series of decisions to ban laws that denied women full citizenship status with men.

Her years on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, deciding cases the way she played golf, as she, left-handed, played with right-handed clubs—aiming left, swinging right, hitting down the middle.

Her years on the Supreme Court . . . 

A pioneering life and legal career whose profound mark on American jurisprudence, on American society, on our American character and spirit, will reverberate deep into the twenty-first century and beyond.
