Non-Fiction Biography
The author of the celebrated Victory tells the
fascinating story of the intertwined lives of Sandra Day
O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the first and second women
to serve as Supreme Court justices. The relationship between Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader
Ginsburg—Republican and Democrat, Christian and Jew, western
rancher’s daughter and Brooklyn girl—transcends party,
religion, region, and culture. Strengthened by each other’s
presence, these groundbreaking judges, the first and second
to serve on the highest court in the land, have transformed
the Constitution and America itself, making it a more equal
place for all women. Linda Hirshman’s dual biography includes revealing stories
of how these trailblazers fought for their own recognition
in a male-dominated profession—battles that would ultimately
benefit every American woman. She also makes clear how these
two justices have shaped the legal framework of modern
feminism, including employment discrimination, abortion,
affirmative action, sexual harassment, and many other issues
crucial to women’s lives. Sisters-in-Law combines legal detail with warm
personal anecdotes that bring these very different women
into focus as never before. Meticulously researched and
compellingly told, it is an authoritative account of our
changing law and culture, and a moving story of a remarkable
friendship.
