This is my first time reading a book of this format (a collections of essays and speeches). I didn't realize I'd be reading variations of the same topic, argument and justification. Great for researching and putting a persuasive piece together - not so great for pleasure reading. Despite that, as I read through her dissents and speeches, I really came to admire Ginsburg's journey, tenacity and "collegiality" with her coworkers and the other Supreme Court Justices.
I found it remarkable how the equal rights she had fought for were battles won only relatively recently. To think, when she entered the legal profession, she was a standout, but today, women permeate the industry. I've always thought of the law as a rather static thing (arguably a privelege to think so) and that largely most of the defining characteristics (good and bad) were determined when the country was founded, with notable repeals. Seeing how much women and minorities have progessed in the span of RBG's career (especially due to it) has dispelled that myth; the law, and rights, are something that we can and should improve in the course of our life.
