My Own Words is Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s first book since she was elevated to the US Supreme Court in 1993. This partly biographical (by coeditors Hartnett and Williams) work contains carefully edited excerpts from Ginsburg’s opinions and speeches. My Own Words provides an insightful look into the justice’s life, education, and background that have formed her legal philosophy and life outlook. The book is divided into five distinct parts, part I being biographical. It is not insignificant that both Ginsburg’s coauthors were also lawyers or legal academics who are primarily involved in women’s rights. Thus, when they requested that Ginsburg permit them to be her “official biographers,” the justice agreed that the three were a compatible team.

书评：我自己的话金斯伯格鲁斯·巴德哈特奈特玛丽威廉姆斯温迪 W.，我自己的话。Simon & Schuster，2016 年，第 334 页，ISBN 978-1-5011-4524-7，30.00 美元（hbk）

《我自己的话》是露丝·巴德·金斯伯格 (Ruth Bader Ginsburg) 自 1993 年被提升到美国最高法院以来的第一本书。这本部分传记（由共同编辑哈特奈特和威廉姆斯撰写）的作品包含精心编辑的金斯伯格观点和演讲摘录。《我自己的话》深入探讨了法官的生活、教育和背景，这些构成了她的法律哲学和人生观。这本书分为五个不同的部分，第一部分是传记。金斯伯格的两位合著者也是主要参与妇女权利的律师或法律学者，这一点并非微不足道。因此，当他们要求金斯伯格允许他们成为她的“官方传记作者”时，法官同意这三人是一个兼容的团队。
