Books about Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, aka  RBG an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States, passed away on September 18, 2020. She was an inspirational figure as attested by the many books and movies about her. For further information, read the wikipedia entry about her. I also recommend Barack Obama‘s post and Heather Cox Richardson‘s post on Facebook about her. 

My daughter picked RBG as a person to talk about and dress up as when she was a fifth grader, as you can see in the picture. So Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s passing is personal for our family.
