I learned much about Ginsburg from reading this, from her childhood nickname being “Kiki” (as in “kicky,” not “Ki-ki”), to her love of opera, and the startling fact her mother and her husband were diagnosed with cancer almost back-to-back. It was also striking reading about how bigoted the States could be, even when she was growing up: there’s the ridiculous sight of a teacher forcing Kiki to write with her right hand, even though she was left handed, and the sheer, unbridled anti-Semitism she would witness.
