Ruth Bader Ginsberg grew up reading about strong women like Jo March and Nancy Drew. She decided in college that going into law was a good thing because she could help people. Even getting through college was difficult because there were so few women enrolled in law school, and the university had different rules for men than for women. She challenged laws that treated women unequally, and even argued before the US Supreme Court. She fought against injustice wherever she saw it, eventually serving as a Supreme Court Justice herself.
Rappaport's biographies are so well done. I especially love the brilliant illustrations by Eric Velasquez. Although there is a lot out there about Judge Ginsberg, this picture book biography is perfect for the upper elementary or middle school reader.
