Review
Doreen Rappaport and Eric Velasquez do justice to one of America’s most influential women in law. Ruth Objects follows Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s trek into the male-dominated field of law and her triumphs therein. The incorporation of actual quotes from Ginsburg help to bring home the reality of the events of the book. The narrative itself was at times a bit clunky to read, but the story woven through the book was delightful. This book serves as a good resource for addressing the discrimination many women faced in the public sphere not too long ago in American history.
