Notorious RBG
Autor Irin Carmon, Shana Knizhniken Limba Engleză Hardback – 3 dec 2015
Pornind de la interviuri inedite cu membrii familiei, corespondență din arhive private și acces direct la însăși Ruth Bader Ginsburg, această lucrare propune o incursiune vizuală și narativă fără precedent în viața uneia dintre cele mai influente figuri juridice ale Americii. Găsim în această carte momentul dramatic în care o studentă la drept, mamă și soție într-o epocă a barierelor invizibile, decide să devină vocea disidenței, transformând „nu-ul” într-un instrument al progresului social. Stilul volumului este unul hibrid, unde rigoarea juridică a opiniilor separate (celebrul „I dissent”) se împletește cu umorul și estetica culturii pop care au transformat-o pe judecătoare în fenomenul „Notorious RBG”. Putem afirma că dinamismul textului reflectă perfect personalitatea subiectului său: metodică dar pasionată, serioasă dar capabilă de o autoironie fină. Narativul amintește de I Dissent prin intensitatea cu care reconstituie o epocă a inegalității de gen, însă Notorious RBG merge mai departe, oferind o perspectivă matură asupra modului în care strategia juridică se întâlnește cu activismul. Spre deosebire de abordarea pur biografică din Ruth Bader Ginsburg de Nancy Hendricks, lucrarea semnată de Irin Carmon și Shana Knizhnik captează spiritul vibrant al unui icon cultural, documentând nu doar legile schimbate, ci și impactul emoțional asupra generațiilor tinere. Documentele de arhivă și fotografiile personale adaugă o textură intimă, transformând biografia într-o experiență cinematică ce explică cum o femeie de statură mică a reușit să mute munții din loc prin forța argumentului și a persistenței.

Descriere scurtă
Featured in the critically acclaimed documentary RBG
"It was beyond my wildest imagination that I would one day become the 'Notorious RBG." — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, 2019
She was a fierce dissenter with a serious collar game. A legendary, self-described “flaming feminist litigator” who made the world more equal. And an intergenerational icon affectionately known as the Notorious RBG. As the nation mourns the loss of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, discover the story of a remarkable woman and learn how to carry on her legacy.
This runaway bestseller, brought to you by the attorney founder of the Notorious RBG Tumblr and an award-winning feminist journalist, is more than just a love letter. It draws on intimate access to Ginsburg's family members, close friends, colleagues, and clerks, as well as an interview with the Justice herself. An original hybrid of reported narrative, annotated dissents, rare archival photos and documents, and illustrations, the book tells a never-before-told story of an unusual and transformative woman who transcended divides and changed the world forever.
Textul de pe ultima copertă
“The authors make this unassuming, most studious woman come pulsing to life. . . . Notorious RBG may be a playful project, but it asks to be read seriously. . . . That I responded so personally to it is a testimony to [its] storytelling and panache.”— Jennifer Senior, New York Times
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg never asked for fame—she has only tried to make the world a little better and a little freer.
But nearly a half-century into her career, something funny happened to the octogenarian: she won the internet. Across America, people who weren’t even born when Ginsburg first made her name as a feminist pioneer are tattooing themselves with her face, setting her famously searing dissents to music, and making viral videos in tribute.
Notorious RBG, inspired by the Tumblr that amused the Justice herself and brought to you by its founder and an award-winning feminist journalist, is more than just a love letter. It draws on intimate access to Ginsburg's family members, close friends, colleagues, and clerks, as well an interview with the Justice herself. An original hybrid of reported narrative, annotated dissents, rare archival photos and documents, and illustrations, the book tells a never-before-told story of an unusual and transformative woman who transcends generational divides. As the country struggles with the unfinished business of gender equality and civil rights, Ginsburg stands as a testament to how far we can come with a little chutzpah.
Recenzii
Carmon and Knizhnik write powerfully about the progression of Ginsburg’s legal career. In particular, they make vivid the development of her trademark arguments ... In her fierce honesty, resolute realness, and, yes, innate sense of style (those collars!), Ginsburg emerges as a cultural icon worthy of her own fanbase — Kate Tuttle, The Boston Globe
"Brooklyn, New York, represents no fear, confidence, and speaking your truth, and my dad and Justice Ginsburg lived those words. I think he would be honored to share the 'Notorious' title with her, and it's up to us to honor their legacies by continuing to fight for equality and justice for all by voting and getting into good trouble." — CJ Wallace, son of Notorious BIG
“What a wonderful book: The annotated dissents! The knockout photos! Why she likes to write through the night! The litany of big cases she won as a lawyer, and how she picked them! How she made Bill Clinton cry! Notorious RBG is a laugh-out-loud joy to read.” — Rachel Maddow
“A deeply original mashup of pop culture and serious scholarship. I plan to give a copy to both of my daughters.” — Gilbert King, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Devil in the Grove

“After this treatment, surely, Biggie would agree that RBG truly is notorious.” — NPR.org
“[F]ull of feminist fairy dust. Read it.” — Elle.com
“[R]iddled with fascinating revelations about the beloved and, yes, notorious U.S. Supreme Court justice…the book eloquently and thoroughly demonstrates once and for all that RBG backs her whip smart, often snarky one-liners with a substantive feminist legacy.” — Mic
