Teach the kids about the late Supreme Court Justice and lifelong pioneer for gender equality with these inspiring reads.

As just the second woman to serve on the nation’s highest court, Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who died recently at the age of 87, blazed a trail for women as a staunch, lifelong advocate for gender equality. She lived a life of deep impact and importance, filled with groundbreaking accomplishments and passionate dissents in the name of justice.

Perhaps no public servant has been so widely admired, respected and quoted as Justice Ginsberg. Her influence even permeated pop culture, as evidenced by the soaring popularity of  Ruth Bader Ginsberg Halloween costumes in recent years along with her picture and famous collars on T-shirts, mugs and even tattoos. She was lovingly known as #NotoriousRBG.

As we marvel over the enormity of her accomplishments, we’re inspired to share her life story with our kids. Here are a few books that’ll teach your kids about her extraordinary legacy. Not surprisingly, these books are selling out quickly so you’ll want to hurry to get your copy.
