Shorter than it needed to be

 Notorious RBG

by Irin Carmon and Shana Knizhnik

As a biography goes, this isn't. It's just a short, delightfully presented, rough outline of her life and some of the important cases she worked on the supreme court. for the snippets of decisions and dissents that she wrote, annotations are added to show what cases she's referencing, directly and indirectly.

It would be excellent recommended reading for a high school student. For me, I wanted more. But I got the impression that she kept her private life (and thoughts) private, so we may have to wait fifty years or so to get a better look into the inner RGB.  Or maybe I'll try reading Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life  by Jane Sherron De Hart.
