Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court and one of America's most admired jurists and social justice advocates, Ruth Bader Ginsburg answers fundamental questions about leadership, and what really matters to her.

The inimitable Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an associate justice of the US Supreme Court, embodies the power of persistence and integrity. Throughout her legal career, spanning nearly five decades, she has been an unwavering force for progress and a leading voice for equality and justice. Here, she reflects on her many years of service to the law, as well as her family life and struggle with cancer. With disarming honesty, Ginsburg discusses everything from gender equality and fitness to literature and the importance of hard work. Strong, hopeful, and wise, her words stand as a guide for budding feminists and those who fight for justice around the world.

Created in collaboration with the Nelson Mandela Foundation, I Know This to Be True is an uplifting new series inspired by his legacy. Extraordinary figures from diverse backgrounds answer the same questions, sharing their compelling stories, guiding ideals, and insightful wisdom. The result is a collection brimming with messages of leadership, courage, compassion, and hope. Delivered in lovely, giftable hardcovers with vivid photographic portraits throughout, these books offer encouragement and guidance to graduates, future leaders, and anyone hoping to make a positive impact on the world.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Ruth Bader Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court of the United States as associate justice from 1993 until her death in 2020.
