like other reviewers, i am a little disappointed that this was not a memoir nor biography as originally thought. It is a collection of her writings, some speeches, dissents etc. I found it a bit dry, especially after viewing the movie first. HOWEVER, it was also very interesting to read things she has actually written, as this is who the woman is. The pieces chosen for this book are not hard reads -- she's an excellent writer which is one of the major characteristics of her --- so very interesting to see that she is really succinct in her writing and easily to the point. I have to say until this came out and people have been learning more about her, who knew she was such a fascinating woman. And the relationship between her and her husband was absolutely fascinating. To have found a man so supportive in the time period they both grew up in , is as amazing as the fact that she is so fascinating.
Worth the read.

Liked the first chapter about her childhood in Brooklyn. Skimmed through several chapters that focused only on court procedures.
