Editor reviews

"Narrator Andi Arndt's bright, authoritative voice fits the book's reverent tone. She uses a conversational style to humanize Ginsburg and moves the story along efficiently. Arndt adds excellent diction and comfortable pacing to make this audiobook a satisfying experience." ( AudioFile)

Summary

Irin Carmon: I heard you can do 20 push-ups.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Yes, but we do 10 at a time. And then I breathe for a bit and do the second set.

Nearly a half century into being a feminist and legal pioneer, something funny happened to Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The octogenarian won the Internet. Across America, people who weren't even born when Ginsburg made her name are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute. In a class of its own, and much to Ginsburg's own amusement, is the Notorious RBG Tumblr, which juxtaposes the diminutive but fierce Jewish grandmother with the 350-pound rapper featuring original artwork submitted from around the world.

Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg offers a rich, intimate, unprecedented look at the justice and how she changed the world. From Ginsburg's refusal to let the slammed doors of sexism stop her to her innovative legal work, from her before-its-time feminist marriage to her perch on the nation's highest court - with the fierce dissents to match - get to know RBG as never before. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Very difficult to comment on

Notorious RBG is very hard to comment on. This is because it is a quite plain and matter of fact account of one of the great heroes of our time. It is difficult to comment on most things because my sight is clouded by the fact that I feel more or less inclined to worship this Ginsberg not only for what she achieved but also for how she did so. As a book it is not particularly entertaining nor artistically written but it doesn't need to be as it tells you a good deal about this amazing woman and her path, by means of accounts mostly of her work. I think she would have wanted it that way.

Narration is flat!

The book for its topic is hard to read but the Andi Arnt failed to engage me. If it wasn't for the commitment to know more about RBG i would not have continued.
