Which experiences shaped Supreme Court Justice Ginsburg’s passion for justice, her advocacy for gender equality and her meticulous jurisprudence? The answers will be revealed in this discussion with Jane Sherron De Hart, author of “Ruth Bader Ginsburg: A Life.” De Hart’s book is the first full-life exploration—private, public, legal, philosophical—of the 107th Supreme Court Justice, written with the cooperation of Ruth Bader Ginsburg herself and based on interviews with the justice, her husband, children, friends and associates. At the heart of her story and abiding beliefs is tikkun olam, the Hebrew injunction to “repair the world,” with its profound meaning for a young girl who grew up during the Holocaust and World War II.
