Professor Sandy Placzek reviewed Linda Hirshman’s book, "Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World."
The review begins: “There are two overriding themes in Linda Hirshman’s 'Sisters in Law: How Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg Went to the Supreme Court and Changed the World': the modern struggle for equality and the growth of the women’s legal movement. Hirshman uses the lives of the first two women appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court and selected cases to track that fight and illustrate this movement. Providing personal vignettes to illustrate how their characters and views developed, discussing their professional history, and exploring the jurisprudence of Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Hirshman offers a thought-provoking view of equality in the United States.”
