Raising the Bar

About the Book

Raising the Bar defines Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s contribution to American constitutional law through her efforts as professor, lawyer, and women’s rights advocate. Focusing on the years 1971 to 1980, it explores the decade during which Ginsburg founded and was general counsel to the ACLU Women’s Rights Project. Several scholars have undertaken similar analyses in the past, but the missing ingredient has long been Ginsburg’s own perspective, now available through her donation of private papers. Raising the Bar pinpoints Ginsburg’s role in the progression of her complicated, multi-layered strategy to combat gender discrimination from theory to implementation.
