I almost feel like this needs to have separate reviews, one for Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and one for Sandra Day O'Connor. I knew very little about Justice O'Connor going into this book. I still don't think I've got a very good picture of her. The author clearly preferred Ginsburg over O'Connor, and therefore the kinda-sorta-parallel histories of the two of them felt biased against O'Connor. I felt like I got a very in-depth, nuanced picture of Ruth, and a glossed-over, hit-the-highlights view of Sandra.I thought this book went far more in-depth than [b:Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg 25422234 Notorious RBG The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg Irin Carmon https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1429924065s/25422234.jpg 44611586] did, though it did take a bit of a different tone about Justice Ginsburg's work that I didn't pick up from Notorious RBG. But Sisters in Law was a great overview of the Supreme Court cases during Ginsburg's tenure thus far, and gave me a much better idea of the internal workings of the Court and how it operates.
