In this comprehensive, revelatory biography--fifteen years of interviews and research in the making--historian Jane Sherron De Hart explores the experiences that shaped Ruth Bader Ginsburg's passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality, and her meticulous jurisprudence. At the heart of her story is her Jewish background and the concept of tikkun olam, the Hebrew injunction to "repair the world," with its profound meaning for a young girl who grew up in the shadow of the Holocaust. Ginsburg's journey begins with her mother, who died tragically young but whose intellect inspired her daughter's feminism. It stretches from Ginsburg's days as a baton twirler at Brooklyn's James Madison High School to Cornell University to Harvard and Columbia law schools; to becoming one of the first female law professors in the country, fighting for equal pay and hiding her second pregnancy to avoid losing her job; to becoming the director of the ACLU's Women's Rights Project and arguing momentous anti-sex discrimination cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. All this, even before being nominated in 1993 to become the second woman on the Court, where her crucial decisions and dissents are still making history. Intimately and personably told, this biography offers unprecedented insight into a pioneering life and legal career whose profound mark on American jurisprudence, American society, and our American character will reverberate deep into the twenty-first century and beyond. -- Publisher's description

This is the story of Katherine Stinson, "The Flying Schoolgirl", who was the fourth U.S. woman to be licensed at age 20, in the year 1912. Katherine was smart and cute and daring. She delighted crowds at airshows across the country and even traveled to Japan where crowds of men, women and children came out to watch her perform. It was in Japan that she was dubbed "Queen of the Air" by a devoted follower. The story follows Katherine as she sets world records, tries to help General Pershing rout Pancho Villa, and drives ambulances at the war front in World War I. The book includes other members of the Stinson family who were involved in the emerging air industry - building planes, training pilots, and leaving a distinct mark on the world of aviation.
