Thanks. Not to belabor the point, but have you read any other Ruth Bader Ginsburg bios?
I have not, but (as a lawyer) have read many biographies of lawyers and this is the finest yet. Fine blend of enough personal details with not only descriptions, but also annotated excerpts from her important briefs and opinions. Pictures are sprinkled throughout where I want them, and the writing style is concise, informative, but inclusive. I find it hard to imagine a better biography, period.
You're welcome. Compare this to (say) the Ron Chernow biographies. They're four times as long, but much of the information is either incredible detail or descriptions of the surrounding circumstances. This book focuses just on her and I like that.
