However, the focus on dissents provides an interesting lens given Ginsburg’s huge legacy in that area legally, and it provides a well-modeled point about the value of holding and speaking up for a minority opinion details about her friendship with Scalia and her ceremonial collars add character. This is an unchallengingly adulatory outing that largely skims across the surface, and its overview of Ginsburg’s landmark Supreme Court dissents goes beyond simple to reductive. Levy casts the Supreme Court justice as somebody who was raised to challenge established wisdom from the start, who was shaped by the sexist and anti-Semitic prejudice she encountered and fought back against, and who created a career and family balance that was unusual in its time. With Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s current cult following, it’s not surprising that she’d get the picture-book treatment.
