The Way Women Are: Transformative Opinions and Dissents of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg

by Cathy Cambron (Editor)

Overview

United States Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader
Ginsburg has spent a lifetime defying notions about “the way women are” and, in the process, has become a cultural icon as well as a profoundly influential jurist. This collection of some of her most significant opinions and dissents illuminates the intellect, humor, and toughness that have made “the Notorious R.B.G.”
a hero to many. Included are Justice Ginsburg’s majority opinions in United
States v. Virginia (1996), and Sessions v. Morales-Santana (2017); her concurrence in Whole Women’s Health v.
Hellerstedt (2016); a selection from the Court’s 2018–2019 term; and some of the justice’s most famous dissents, such as those in Ledbetter v. Goodyear
Tire (2007), Gonzales v. Carhart (2007), and Burwell v. Hobby
Lobby (2014). Also included are an introduction and explanatory notes that help make these writings accessible to a nonlegal audience.
