Justice Ginsburg Inks Book Deal

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the subject of “Notorious RBG,” released last year. Now she will pen “My Own Words” for Simon and Schuster, a collection of her writings and speeches. Georgetown Law professor Emerita Wendy W. Williams and adjunct professor Mary Hartnett will serve as Ginsburg’s authorized biographers for the project, which will feature samplings as diverse as grade school newspaper contributions, a brief she wrote as an advocate for women’s rights before the Supreme Court, and the foreword she wrote to an opera recently written about her relationship with the late Justice Antonin Scalia. Williams and Hartnett, who have already conducted hundreds of interviews with Ginsburg and her colleagues, family and friends, will introduce the writings and place them in context.
