When Ruth Bader Ginsburg requested to declare a law that discriminated “on the basis of sex” to be unconstitutional, she received a call from Nina, a curious reporter. That call launched a remarkable, nearly fifty-year friendship. “Dinners with Ruth” is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story’s heart is one special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys, but also illness, loss, and widowhood.
