Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a strong, inspirational woman who served for 27 years on the Supreme Court. As the second woman to serve on the court, she carved out her place in history. No matter how you feel about her politics, she had a hand in many of the decisions that have shaped our country. With her recent passing, her legacy is being celebrated. She was a strong woman who fought for women’s rights, and many more important causes. I wanted to gather a list of children’s books about Ruth Bader Ginsburg, as well as some of her best quotes, so you can share her legacy with your kids as well.
