""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.

A hero for women

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I would recommend this audiobook, however not having the print version available is disconcerting. The narrator makes frequent references to "a chart" or some other table that has information being talked about. Overall the material about Justice Ginsburg is fascinating and I learned a great deal about her.

Would you recommend Notorious RBG to your friends? Why or why not?

I am considering suggesting that a group that I'm a part of read the book and discuss it.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

I listen as I walk for my health, and listen in segments If I had the print version, I might read it in a different manner.

One HELL of an inspiration

This woman is one HELL of an inspiration, not only for women, but for anyone who believes in equal rights for all people and those willing to do the work in order to make a difference for the greater good.

Love Love Love it!

Gives you a beautiful inside look to the Honorable Justice, loved this so much. Highly recommended.

Great History!

I knew of RBG, but did not know her illustrious history and how much she has done for women's rights. She's probably one of the most qualified justices on SCOTUS - women need to be superlative to be treated equally sometimes. Young women should read this book!

Radiant, Beautiful, Graceful - RGB

Wow! This was somewhat rambling, but I very much enjoyed it. She is one amazing woman, and all women are fortunate that she's in the Supreme Court.

Awe inspiring and important

The authors did such a great job with this book. RBG is such a fascinating figure and I'd recommend this book to anyone.

I loved it!

Highly recommend it. I will most definitely be listening to it again. It was both informative and heart warming.

A small woman; A giant among men!

In this day and age, more than any other time in our nation's history, it is important that any American, and anyone who cares about the United States of America, democracy, human rights, and equality, knows the work of RBG.
The book addresses her legal achievements, and provides the context and personal background that created such a magnificent woman.

A ray of hope

How can you hear the life of RBG and not be inspired? This important story should be a must read in high schools. I knew RBG was an important figure in the women's rights arena, but it was HOW she did what she did that is the most important aspect for me. She was a champion for ALL parents, not just women. This book does a really nice job of explaining RBG's strategy for change. It reads a bit dry at times, but with a subject matter like this, it doesn't need to be any more colorful or dramatic to be successful.

Could be my favorite

This could be my favorite audio book of all time! What an amazing woman RBG is and she is portrayed beautifully in this great performance. Andi Arndt reminds me of a young Cokie Roberts.
