Sisters in law

Sister in law: how Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg went to the Supreme Court and changed the world / Linda Hirshman 413 pgs.

An interesting history of the first two women Supreme Court justices and how they ended up there, their early lives, and their lasting effect on the world.  I don't think it is overstating to say they changed the world after I read about the amazing decisions made over the years.  Sandra and Ruth are such trail blazers it is amazing to read their history...Sandra graduated in the top of her law school class and was offered secretarial jobs by all the law firms she applied to...they had no ideas about hiring any women lawyers even one as smart as her.  It is scary to think how few years ago that took place.

I can't say enough good about this book. It is a great look at the history of the court and these two fabulous women.
