discourage educated women from falling into trap of putting family first
Ruth Bader Ginsburg's insight and fearlessness stand in relief against her trailblazing yet conventional fellow justice Sandra Day O'Connor. Hirshman draws out more ironies in Ginsburg's legal and academic career, such as the far-reaching results of her incremental defense of women's rights. Fate sidetracked her from pursuing ACLU's reproductive rights agenda, which would have doomed her chances to join the high court.
As biography, this has some good information but isn’t totally satisfying. In particular it provides less insight into O’Connor than one might have hoped. But I really enjoyed its sketch of the progress of women’s rights over the past few decades (by discussion of a series of cases), as well as the glimpses behind the scenes at the Supreme Court.
