Review: ‘Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’ - The New York Times

Review: ‘Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg’ - The New York Times: "There is much about Justice Ginsburg that remains enigmatic. The achievement of “Notorious RBG” is that the authors make this unassuming, most studious woman come pulsing to life. A colleague of the justice’s once said, “The anecdote that describes her best is that there are no anecdotes.” In this way, Justice Ginsburg is a bit like the Mona Lisa, whose likeness has also launched a thousand fanciful appropriations. To be a scrim for the world’s projections, it helps to be a little hard to read."
