From the New York Times bestselling author of I Dissent comes a biographical graphic novel about celebrated Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a modern feminist icon—a leader in the fight for equal treatment of girls and women in society and the workplace. She blazed trails to the peaks of the male-centric worlds of education and law, where women had rarely risen before. Ruth Bader Ginsburg has often said that true and lasting change in society and law is accomplished slowly, one step at a time. This is how she has evolved, too. Step by step, the shy little girl became a child who questioned unfairness, who became a student who persisted despite obstacles, who became an advocate who resisted injustice, who became a judge who revered the rule of law, who became…RBG.

A good graphic bio on RGB's life for kids, elementary and middle specifically. I liked that the graphics where various shades of blue with pops of red. Includes a timeline and the quotes are extensively researched. This bio goes up to Feb 2019, a year before her death. 1 mention of the influentit Pauli Murray, who I would also love to see get the same attention and the graphics treatment!
This is a charming and inspiring graphic biography. I think it's perfect for tween readers–careful to define terms like “federal government” and great at explaining RBG's earlier court cases for gender equality in a way that doesn't condescend but makes the stakes very clear. The art is cute and engaging.
