Description

On Being American: The Jurisprudence of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Suzanne Reynolds ISBN 9781639055401

On Being American: The Jurisprudence of Ruth Bader Ginsburg explores the life, advocacy, and judicial philosophy of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a jurist dedicated to a deeper, more inclusive vision of American citizenship. As Linda Greenhouse notes in the Foreword, Justice Ginsburg championed an America where people with diverse experiences could live together in civic harmony. Central to her vision was the principle of anti-stereotyping, which sought to broaden both the “who” and the “what” of American citizenship. She recognized that realizing this ideal required strong legislation, the protection of voting rights, and respect for the people’s decisions to expand the franchise. In her later dissents on reproductive rights, Justice Ginsburg warned that ignoring the anti-stereotyping principle posed one of the greatest threats to individual freedoms.

The book’s editors offer a posthumous glimpse into how Justice Ginsburg might have approached landmark cases like Dobbs, featuring a chapter on the amici brief by Serena Mayeri, Melissa Murray, and Reva Siegel. Two chapters look beyond Dobbs: one examines what the Equal Rights Amendment might have meant to Justice Ginsburg in that context, and the final chapter imagines how her jurisprudence would address different forms of discrimination—not in theory, but in the real lives of those affected.
