Notorious RBG

Notorious RBG: the life and times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg / Irin Carmon & Shana Knizhnik 236 pgs.

RBG has a great back story. She was one of nine women in her Harvard law school class of 500 and had to tell the dean that she was interested in law to "know more about what my husband does." Her husband, however, had no illusions and told everyone that she did better than he in school.  This book gives a great overview of RBG as a lawyer, as a judge, as a person.  She is remarkable in so many ways but I'm personally amazed that she works with a trainer and does 20 push ups every day.  Really, she is the total package!
