Writing RBG: How to Fit a Tiny, Huge Jewish American Icon into a Book with Debbie Levy

Tuesday, October 6, 2020 • 18 Tishrei 5781

6:30 PM - 7:30 PMZoom

Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, z”l, became a modern feminist icon, but Ruth “Kiki” Bader wasn’t a firebrand feminist as a child. Becoming RBG focuses on the story of her evolution, from quiet child to inquisitive student to brilliant professor to creative courtroom lawyer to first Jewish woman on the Supreme Court of the United States. Through RBG’s story, readers see that looking outside oneself can make all the difference between being a bystander and being a change maker. Join Debbie as she shares stories about the delights of writing about RBG.

Debbie Levy is the award-winning and New York Times best-selling author of more than twenty-five books for young people. Her most recent releases include Becoming RBG: Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Journey to Justice (graphic novel-style biography); This Promise of Change: One Girl’s Story in the Fight for School Equality (with Jo Ann Allen Boyce); and a new edition of her 2010 book, The Year of Goodbyes.
