The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993 – a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women’s rights, and popular culture.


My Own Words is a selection of writings and speeches by Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book contains a sampling selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers, Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams. Justice Ginsburg has written an introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women.

    有幸听金斯伯格读自传,是一种跨越时空的体验。

    15岁逗评:挺好,除了生词有点多。读得很清晰,其中有好几段演讲的音频,有时候是不太清晰的,不过对于一个现场录的音频来说已经很好了。虽然是传记,但是故事性不强,主要还是科普一下他们的制度,还有她处理的一些案件。

    和我手中的电子文本有些出入。大部分应该是法官的讲话录音。对于着急想听原文来的人说有些失望! 看完这本书,让我最大的收获就是女权运动在美国的发展也不是一帆风顺,特别是最近前几年的流产争议。打着保护妇女健康的名义,不让妇女流产。这样的文化啊,是人类的通性吗?
