Subtitle: How Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World
Reading the story of the first two women supreme court justices reawakened the feminist history I lived and embraced for life in the 1970s. These two very different women finally brought a female perspective to the court. The stories of their treatment and experiences is fascinating. I was surprised at O'Connor's pragmatic conservatism and cheered Ginsburg's consistent push for change. I discovered a lot about the operation of the Supreme Court and how its members function in getting their job done and relating to their colleagues. Great read.
