My Own Words by Ruth Bader Ginsburg with Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams encompasses some of the Supreme Court Justice’s most important speeches, showcasing her values and her style. There are also quite a few details about her personal life, as a wife, mother and friend. The audiobook is read by Linda Lavin, with most of the speeches read by RBG. There is even a speech by her husband, given with a wonderful sense of humor and evidence of his great love for his wife. The book seems more important now that she has passed away and reminds us of the hard work and dedication this woman believed in. It would be fair to say that many women have been encouraged by her writings and her life and more than a few of us owe her gratitude for leading the way. This book is interesting and provides the reader with a glimpse of a woman ahead of her time in a profession that was not always welcoming. If you wish to read this, I recommend the audio version, simply to listen to RBG in her own words. Highly recommended.

Excellent review! I was recently gifted with the book Notorious RBG and very much look forward to reading it. This book which you reviewed which was actually written by Ginsburg sounds great, so might have to give it a read after finishing the one that was written about her.
