October 15, 2018
Felix (Michelle Obama: A Photographic Journey) celebrates U.S. Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life and career in this reverential photo history. Photos chart the trajectory of Ginsburg’s life, from her childhood in Brooklyn, through her professorship at Columbia Law School, to her official swearing-in ceremony to the Supreme Court. Beyond the dozens of images capturing Ginsburg’s lengthy career in federal court, Felix includes tender candid photos of Ginsburg as a mother, grandmother, and wife to Marty Ginsburg. Brief yet informative biographical essays as well as excerpts from Ginsburg’s speeches provide solid context for both her career (“Joining the faculty of Rutgers School of Law in 1963, Ruth became the second female law professor in the school’s history and began the sex discrimination work with which she would change society,” writes Felix) and personal life (“I became a lawyer in days when women were not wanted by most members of the legal profession, because Marty and his parents supported that choice unreservedly”). Readers will delight in the photos that capture Ginsburg’s presence on the internet (as in the Notorious R.B.G. Tumblr blog), and her visits to the opera with a close friend, the late Antonin Scalia. This is an adoring photo history that wonderfully shows Ginsburg in her private life as well as public.
