Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

For: The justice-seeking, meme-savvy feminist

Price: $12.93

After the events of the election, we value Ruth Bader Ginsburg more than ever. She has worked her whole life to advance our society in a more progressive way. As just one example, she co-founded the Women’s Rights Project with the ACLU. She was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, and ever since she’s been a beacon of light for liberals everywhere.

The Notorious RBG book isn’t just a chronicle of her life and accomplishments. The Amazon page notes that authors Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik includes an interview with Justice Ginsburg herself, as well as comments from her close family and friends. In the same summary, the book is described as “an original hybrid of reported narrative, annotated dissents, rare archival photos and documents, and illustrations.” Which makes it a perfect gift for anyone interested in RBG.

If your friend is a hardcore policy nerd, she will love reading through Ginsburg’s famous dissents. If she got excited about RBG because of the memes, she will love the narrative take on her life and the pictures. It’s a stunning tribute to an incredible woman, fit for anyone who value social justice.

Now in her 80s, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is still regularly making waves just by being the badass that she is. Just recently, she tacitly protested the election of Trump by showing up in court the next day wearing the collar that she only wears when she’s dissenting. For the feminist who can’t wait to see Ruth go ruthless on that demagogue over the next four years, get this book. She’ll love it.

She’ll Love It If: She listens to the More Perfect podcast non-stop; she dressed as RBG for Halloween, complete with lace collar and gavel; she has RBG’s dissents on her vision board
