by various (Biography Ginsburg)
Another fascinating entry in The Last Interview series, this time with Supreme Court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who fought for women’s rights years before being named to the country’s highest court. In this set of interviews (that runs the gamut of her career but focuses especially on her final few years), Ginsburg dances around issues in front of the court — knowing she can’t really comment on something that she might be called upon to issue an official opinion about later. However, she does get to answer questions about her personal history, her earlier years working with the law, and the seeming incongruity of her being close personal friends with the judge normally furthest from her in Supreme Court rulings, Justice Antonin Scalia. The final interview in this book came mere weeks before Ginsburg’s passing in 2021.
