The I Know This To Be True series is a collection of autobiographies from key figures in the social and political world of the 20th and 21st century. The title of the collection was inspired by the Nelson Mandela Foundation, I Know This to Be True. This book covers the achievements and personal history of the late of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was the second female Justice to retain the position.
The book covers Ginsburg's life's journey in fighting for gender equality, both in her personal life and in the court room. It touches upon her landmark legal cases which saw women gain rights for housing, insurance, military service, and healthcare. The book also delves into Ginsburg's diagnosis with colon cancer in 1999, and later with pancreatic cancer in 2009. She comments on the passion for equality she shared with her late husband, Martin, and their peer marriage which saw them both equally contributing to the household, rather than only Martin.
Ginsburg has also spoken out about the Me Too Movement of 2018, and stated "It's about time. For so long women were silent, thinking there was nothing you could do about it, but now the law is on the side of women, or men, who encounter harassment and that's a good thing."
