In a time where girls were only supposed to think about growing up . . .
"In a time where girls were only supposed to think about growing up to be wives and mothers, Ruth Bader Ginsburg stood out and went above to become who she is today; a well-known and celebrated Supreme Court justice. Luckily, Ruth had a mother that fostered her love of learning and instilled a sense of higher purpose, letting her know that girls could be whatever they put their minds to. And she did. Ruth went to college and law school and worked her way up, disagreeing with the status quo and making her mark by fighting for the equal treatment of women, becoming a judge, and finally, a justice on the Supreme Court. Ruth Bader Ginsburg grew up during times of deep segregation, not only for African-Americans but for Jews like her. Ruth disagreed with this prejudice and would go on to promote equality for all and become the first Jewish woman in the Supreme Court. This picture book biography of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life is wonderfully illustrated with some very bold but fun typography that brings style to the story. Young readers will enjoy seeing the lively and spirited Ruth grow over time into the powerful and inspiring woman she is today."
