A Penguin Classic
With the Penguin Liberty series by Penguin Classics, we look to the U.S. Constitution’s text and values, as well as to American history and some of the country’s most important thinkers, to discover the best explanations of our constitutional ideals of liberty. Through these curated anthologies of historical, political, and legal classic texts, Penguin Liberty offers everyday citizens the chance to hear the strongest defenses of these ideals, engage in constitutional interpretation, and gain new (or renewed) appreciation for the values that have long inspired the nation. Questions of liberty affect both our daily lives and our country’s values, from what we can say to whom we can marry, how society views us to how we determine our leaders. It is Americans’ great privilege that we live under a Constitution that both protects our liberty and allows us to debate what that liberty should mean.

Ginsburg's jurisprudence applying the equal protection clause of the Bill of Rights was carefully constructed over many years, culminating in her services as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. This collection of excerpts from briefs and opinions written by Ginsburg, including influential dissenting opinions, offers examples of her thinking about gender equality, voting rights, and reproductive and other related issues. Narrator Maggi-Meg Reed delivers the material in a measured voice, maintaining the conviction that is present in the arguments without augmentation or exaggeration. She presents the introductory material about Ginsburg and brief summaries of the context of the cases in a conversational tone that complements the directness of Ginsburg's writing style.
