'Vorreiterin. Heldin. Wonderwoman.' (ttt)
'I dissent - Ich widerspreche.' - diese Worte haben sie berühmt gemacht. Ruth Bader Ginsburg hat die Welt verändert. Die zierliche Richterin am Obersten Gerichtshof der USA war moralischer Kompass und feministische Ikone der Millennials - geschätzt, mitunter auch gefürchtet für ihren messerscharfen Verstand, ihren Witz und ihren Kampfgeist. Zeit ihres Lebens hat sie unbeirrt für Gerechtigkeit gekämpft.
Im Alter von 87 Jahren ist sie am 18. September 2020 in Washington einem Krebsleiden erlegen. Nicht nur ihre hier ausgewählten wichtigsten Statements wirken weiter, auch ihre Botschaften hallen unvermindert nach. Ihre mutige Haltung inspiriert Menschen aller Generationen.
Die Meilensteine ihrer Biografie sprechen für sich. 1956 begann RBG, wie viele sie heute nennen, ihr Jurastudium an der Eliteuniversität Harvard - als eine von nur neun Frauen unter 500 Männern. Sie wurde eine der ersten Jura-Professorinnen in den USA und erkämpfte in den 1970er-Jahren gegen alle Widerstände bahnbrechende Gerichtsurteile zur Gleichstellung der Geschlechter. 1993 ernannte Präsident Clinton sie zur Richterin am Supreme Court, die zweite Frau überhaupt am Obersten Gerichtshof der Vereinigten Staaten.
This definitive collection of beloved Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia's finest speeches covers topics as varied as the law, faith, virtue, pastimes, and his heroes and friends. Featuring a foreword by longtime friend Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and an intimate introduction by his youngest son, this volume includes dozens of speeches, some deeply personal, that have never before been published. Christopher J. Scalia and the Justice's former law clerk Edward Whelan selected the speeches.
Americans have long been inspired by Justice Scalia's ideas, delighted by his wit, and instructed by his intelligence. He was a sought-after speaker at commencements, convocations, and events across the country. Scalia Speaks will give readers the opportunity to encounter the legendary man more fully, helping them better understand the jurisprudence that made him one of the most important justices in the Court's history and introducing them to his broader insights on faith and life.

The first book from Ruth Bader Ginsburg since becoming a Supreme Court Justice in 1993—a witty, engaging, serious, and playful collection of writings and speeches from the woman who has had a powerful and enduring influence on law, women’s rights, and popular culture.
My Own Words is a selection of writings and speeches by Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, on being Jewish, on law and lawyers in opera, and on the value of looking beyond US shores when interpreting the US Constitution. Throughout her life Justice Ginsburg has been (and continues to be) a prolific writer and public speaker. This book contains a sampling, selected by Justice Ginsburg and her authorized biographers Mary Hartnett and Wendy W. Williams. Justice Ginsburg has written an Introduction to the book, and Hartnett and Williams introduce each chapter, giving biographical context and quotes gleaned from hundreds of interviews they have conducted. This is a fascinating glimpse into the life of one of America’s most influential women.
This audiobook features archival original recordings of Justice Ginsburg’s speeches and bench announcements.
