I'm not really one to read biographies nor do I spend much time reading feminist writings but when this book was on sale for kindle for a few dollars I thought it might be good to learn more about this little lady on the Supreme Court. I'm glad that I made the purchase.

Her accomplishments are impressive and the world she navigated seems impossible for such a recent past. I'm grateful to have my eyes opened and to appreciate the work of those who fought to make the world a better place.
