One of my regrets so far; was not pushing myself hard enough to meet RBG.Lesson learned.
I read /Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Last Interview: and Other Conversations (The Last Interview Series)/:https://headtopics.com/uk/ruth-bader-...Despite the brevity of this book in paperback format, I learned a lot about the Court system in the United States (and enjoyed the process).
Very cool read! Honestly, I learned more about how the Supreme Court works while reading this. Most of the interviews focus on gender discrimination, and the cases involved within the fight against gender discrimination. And some fun stories from Ruth about her life and also her friendship with Scalia. RIP RBG!
I really admired RBG and all she did over her very long career. I enjoyed reading the interviews she had done over the past few years. Her last interview as in Feb. 2020. I did not know about this series but glad I found this one.
Such a wonderful Justice. Great book. The world misses you RGB.
I probably would have never had access to these interviews without this book. I am glad I had the chance to read these interviews. This book only made me love what RBG fought for even more.
Uplifting and delightful.
For someone who had recently seen the film On the Basis of Sex, but did not know much else about RBG's life and work, this book was interesting. At no fault of the editor, RBG often repeated herself in interviews, in part due to the fact she was often asked similar questions. I think for someone who already has some RBG knowledge base, this book doesn't offer much more insight. For someone who doesn't know anything about RBG, I doubt you would learn much about her from this book either, as it do...
Guardian review: https://www.theguardian.com/books/202...
Wonderful information about RBG, both personal and professional. However, some of the interviews were quite repetitive.
RBG has been my idol for so long, I’ve always loved her come-up story, her family story, her journeys with cancer, her ability to love those even with polar opposite views. When she passed, I felt true remorse - a loss for the equality figure that was this 87 year old powerhouse. This book of interviews was great - it shed light to her humor, her grace, and her drive. If you’re a fan of RBG and just want some of her words - this is a good option, however if you’re looking for a book that discuss...
Great collection of interviews, I learned a lot and understood most of everything with a small prior knowledge.
This book can get really boring at times but it was very informative and I enjoyed reading it. I loved when she talked about her time spent with Nabokov and how although he can write in three languages, he enjoys writing in english the best. The example I held onto was when she said “the white horse” versus “la cheval blance”. In French, you expect the horse to be brown because “cheval” (horse) comes first and “blance” (white) comes second. In English, however, the adjective is already expected
To be clear, the 4 stars have nothing to do with RBG’s words. I really enjoyed this book, and I think RBG is absolutely brilliant. My only critique is that several of the interviews revisited the same topics, and RBG is very consistent in her answers. Therefore, it wasn’t always new information in each interview.
A delight to read this series of interviews with RBG. Some repetitive information, but interesting nonetheless.
This is a collection of interviews, and transcripts of interviews, with Ruth Bader Ginsberg over her career. Most are relatively recent, but the first one is older. The interviewers vary from TV presenters to hosts at film festivals, to high-schoolers on a field trip to the Supreme Court. As someone who doesn't know too much about the law, different courts etc. I found the information fascinating. Numerous key equal rights cases are referenced and their significance explained, as well as some ot...
This is an excellent series of interviews cultural figures. And this entry on RBG wonderfully highlights her remarkable contributions to American justice. Short and easy to read, but enlightening. (Own)
I really enjoy this Last Interview series and this one did not dissapoint. It just really made me eager to learn even more about Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg! I recommend this to anyone I know that is interested in RBG.
Overall good, slow at some parts
I learned a lot. She is an inspiration to women everywhere. RIP Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
