Narration Toward Books My Own Words
13 hours, 18 minutesThe 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 offers Justice Ginsburg on wide-ranging topics, including gender equality, the workways of the Supreme Court, being Jewish, law and lawyers in opera, and 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’s sampling is 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.

A collection of Ruth Bader Ginsburgs essays and speeches, writings from her childhood, a glimpse of her life through eighty-plus years, including those of her as a young woman, the love she and her husband Marty share, and the various paths she followed in order to arrive at the place she has landed. I wanted to read this, originally, but when my friend Angela reviewed this as an audio, I was intrigued. And while this is only in part narrated by Ginsburg herself, which were admittedly myI can't believe I'm going to say this, but I'm kind of disappointed. I don't think I'm going to rate it at all because my disappointment primarily stems from the fact that I expected this to be an actual memoir when it's really a collection of old writing and speeches, edited and introduced by official biographers. It's interesting enough, but I didn't get as much from it as I wanted because it was significantly less personal than I expected.
I knew before I started to listen to My Own Words that it was not going to be the same as in my own words, that it was not going to be read in total by Ruth Bader Ginsburg . I wish it had been. Its not that actress Linda Lavin didnt do a great job of reading some of RBGs speeches and writings, in providing biographical information and a run down of her achievements. It was that when I heard Ginsburgs voice, I genuinely got a sense of her amazing intellect and wit and will and I just wanted to
This is one that you have to listen to. The audio book includes RBG's and her husband's actual audio, not a transcription.This makes it a fun book. (Her husband was a real character and that is probably lost in print.)This is a fun and informative book. Unfortunately, it is very repetitive. It is essentially RBG speaking on several topics/issues. As it is her actual presentations, you get to hear her provide the background/rationale on several different cases----over and over and over again.
After managing my own expectations based on a slightly misleading title this book won me over. I am a Notorious RBG fan through and through and I can only pray she doesnt die until the presidency changes parties. 🤞🤞🤞
