Book Review: "Notorious RBG" By Irin Carmon

 “The pedestal upon which women have been placed has all too often, upon closer inspection, been revealed as a cage.”

“The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a woman’s life, to her well-being and dignity,” she said simply. “It is a decision she must make for herself. When government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.”

― Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“For some reason, people repeatedly have asked RBG when she thought there would be enough women on the court. The question is asinine, her answer effective: 'When there are nine.”
― Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

“I think that men and women, shoulder to shoulder, will work together to make this a better world. Just as I don’t think that men are the superior sex, neither do I think women are. I think that it is great that we are beginning to use the talents of all of the people, in all walks of life, and that we no longer have the closed doors that we once had.” —RBG”
― Irin Carmon, Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

If history has taught us anything it's that we need more strong, feminine, powerful women like RBG not just in politics but actively engaged.

We cannot let the minority rule over the majority and take away not just women's rights but our healthcare, our voices, our lives!

We must stop the insanity we now find ourselves engaged in and go back to a time when we were respectful, empathetic, loving, and engaging -if that time ever did exist.
What we have now is a one sided examination of alternative facts and we can't be transparent if that exist.

I pray everyone goes out to perform their civic duties and VOTES!

Thank you to my local library for this insightful new read!
