I borrowed this from the library and renewed it again and I still only got about a quarter of the way through. There is good here, but this is a mix of speeches and essays. In the audiobook that works its way out as clips from her, her husband and others speeches and then professional narrators reading the essays. Ginsburg is a clear, but dry writer. But she is a super slow and dry speaker. That doesn't mean I wouldn't be glad to hear her speak in person. But many of these speeches are pretty low-quality recordings and her age and natural speaking style is SLOW and very deliberate.

There are lots of other things I am trying to read and listen to right now and this keeps ending up at the bottom of the list. So I am giving up.
