First edition of this analysis of the American work-family conflict. Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the half-title page, âTo Justice Ginsburg, with admiration and thanks for your work. Joan Williams, Sept. 2011.â American lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020 and was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. Nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day OâConnor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâs rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She was popularly dubbed âthe Notorious R.B.G.â, a moniker she later embraced. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâs male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. Fine in a near fine dust jacket. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box. "In this sensible and erudite book, Williams adds the crucial dimensions of men's activities and differences by class to the work-family debate" (Michael Kimmel, author of 'Manhood in America').

First Oxford University printing of this insightful analysis about gender inequalities. Octavo, original publisher's wrappers, illustrated. Association copy, inscribed by the author on the front free endpaper, "To Justice Ginsburg, From someone who is copying on your tradition (I hope!) Jen Williams May 2002." From the library of Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Arguably the most famous Supreme Court Justice in American history, lawyer and jurist Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. Popularly dubbed âthe Notorious R.B.G.â (a play on the name of famed 90s rapper The Notorious B.I.G.), Ginsburg was responsible for some of the most eventful legal decisions of the past half-century. When she was nominated by President Bill Clinton in 1993 to replace retiring justice Byron White, Ginsburg became both the first Jewish woman and the second woman to serve on the Court, after Sandra Day OâConnor. Ginsburg was born and grew up in Brooklyn, New York, earned degrees at Cornell University and Columbia Law School, and began her career as a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, teaching civil procedure as one of the few women in her field. She spent much of her early legal career as an advocate for gender equality and womenâs rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court and, in 1972, co-founded the Womenâs Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union which participated in more than 300 gender discrimination cases by 1974. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed her to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, where she served until her appointment to the Supreme Court in 1993. During her tenure as associate justice of the Supreme Court, Ginsburg received increasing attention for her fiery and passionate dissents that reflected liberal views of the law. She authored several important majority opinions related to gender discrimination, voting rights, and affirmative action in cases such as United States v. Virginia (1996) which struck down the Virginia Military Instituteâs male-only admissions policy as violating the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, Olmstead v. L.C. (1999) in which the Court ruled that mental illness is a form of disability covered under the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, and Friends of the Earth, Inc. v. Laidlaw Environmental Services, Inc. (2000) in which the Court held that residents have standing to seek fines for an industrial polluter that affected their interests and that is able to continue doing so. In 2002, Ginsburg was inducted into the National Womenâs Hall of Fame, she was named one of Forbesâ 100 Most Powerful Women in 2009, and one of Time magazineâs 100 most influential people in 2015. Her powerful and fiery dissent in the 2013 Supreme Court case Shelby County v. Holder, in which she argued against the majorityâs decision to strike down key provisions of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, emphasizing the continued need for its protections against racial discrimination in voting, earned her the nickname âThe Notorious R.B.G.â â" a moniker she came to embrace which has since become a celebration of her important legal career and legacy. Widely regarded as one of the most remarkable women in American history, Ginsburg redefined and transcended the traditional role of Supreme Court justice, ascending to the status of intergenerational feminist pop culture icon. In near fine condition with light toning to the extremities. Cover photograph by Stephen Simpson. Housed in a custom half morocco clamshell box by the Harcourt Bindery. Williams argues that the demands of work, which often prioritize long hours and inflexible schedules, disproportionately affect women, who are expected to balance professional responsibilities with caregiving roles at home. At the same time, she highlights how men are also constrained by traditional gender norms that limit their involvement in family life. Through her analysis, Williams advocates for changes in workplace policies, such as flexible schedules, paid family leave, and a rethinking of what constitutes "ideal" worker behavior, to create a more equitable balance between family and work. Unbending Gender calls for a redefinition of gender roles and work structures, aiming to provide solutions that can help reduce the conflict and create a more just and balanced society for both genders.
