L'infanzia e l'adolescenza in una Giava magica, un mondo coloniale abbandonato per sempre, l'affascinante amica del cuore perduta e scomparsa nel nulla, il marito amato che le nascondeva una passione segreta: forse è nel forziere di cui non trova più la chiave la spiegazione dei tanti enigmi della vita di Herma Warner, la preziosa cassa di ebano in cui ha rinchiuso le sue \"Indie\", i documenti di un lontano passato da tempo lasciato depositare nel fondo oscuro della coscienza, inaccessibile quanto l'antico forziere. Finché una lettera la spinge a far luce in quei recessi dell'anima: un giornalista le chiede notizie di una certa Mila Wychinska, nome in cui è più volte incappato nei suoi studi sugli attivisti dei diritti umani nel Sud-Est asiatico, senza trovare informazioni fondate. Basta quel nome perché l'onda dei ricordi travolga le barriere che Herma si è costruita nei suoi ordinati studi di storica dell'arte e nella quiete della casa di famiglia dove vive ritirata. Perché Mila Wychinska non è altri che Dee Mijers, l'amica della giovinezza a Batavia, uno dei nomi che aveva adottato, rinunciando a quello della sua nobile famiglia, nella sua continua ricerca di un'identità, sempre dalla parte delle vittime del potere e delle discriminazioni. A poco a poco riaffiora la storia di un'amicizia e di un amore in cui si riflette la fine di un'epoca e di un mondo, dal colonialismo alle lotte d'indipendenza, fino alla nascita della Repubblica Indonesiana.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's final book offers an intimate look at her extraordinary life and details her lifelong pursuit for gender equality and a \"more perfect Union.\"\n\n In the fall of 2019, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg visited the University of California, Berkeley School of Law to honor her friend, the late Herma Hill Kay, with whom Ginsburg had coauthored the very first casebook on sex-based discrimination in 1974. During Justice Ginsburg's visit, she shared her life story with Amanda L. Tyler, a Berkeley Law professor and former Ginsburg law clerk.\n\n Their intimate conversation is recorded here in Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue, along with previously unpublished materials that detail Ginsburg's long career. These include notable briefs and oral arguments, Ginsburg's last speeches, and her favorite opinions that she wrote as a Supreme Court Justice (many in dissent), along with the statements that she read from the bench in those important cases. Each document was carefully chosen by Ginsburg and Tyler to tell the litigation strategy at the heart of Ginsburg's unwavering commitment to achieve \"a more perfect Union.\"\n\n Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an advocate and jurist for gender equality, ensuring that the United States Constitution leaves no person behind and allows every individual to achieve their full human potential. Her work transformed not just the American legal landscape, but American society. As revealed in these pages, Ginsburg dismantled long-entrenched systems of discrimination based on outdated stereotypes by showing how such laws hold back both genders. With her death, the country lost a hero whose incredible life and legacy made the United States a society in which \"We the People,\" for whom the Constitution is written, includes everyone.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg's last book is a curation of her own legacy, tracing the long history of her work for gender equality and a \"more perfect Union.\" \n\nIn the fall of 2019, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg visited the University of California, Berkeley School of Law to deliver the first annual Herma Hill Kay Memorial Lecture in honor of her friend, the late Herma Hill Kay, with whom Ginsburg had coauthored the very first casebook on sex-based discrimination in 1974. Justice, Justice Thou Shalt Pursue is the result of a period of collaboration between Ginsburg and Amanda L. Tyler, a Berkeley Law professor and former Ginsburg law clerk. During Justice Ginsburg's visit to Berkeley, she told her life story in conversation with Tyler. In this collection, the two bring together that conversation and other materials-many previously unpublished-that share details from Justice Ginsburg's family life and long career. These include notable briefs and oral arguments, some of Ginsburg's last speeches, and her favorite opinions that she wrote as a Supreme Court Justice (many in dissent), along with the statements that she read from the bench in those important cases. Each document was chosen by Ginsburg and Tyler to tell the story of the litigation strategy and optimistic vision that were at the heart of Ginsburg's unwavering commitment to the achievement of \"a more perfect Union.\"\n \n In a decades-long career, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an advocate and jurist for gender equality and for ensuring that the United States Constitution leaves no person behind. Her work transformed not just the American legal landscape, but American society more generally. Ginsburg labored tirelessly to promote a Constitution that is ever more inclusive and that allows every individual to achieve their full human potential. As revealed in these pages, in the area of gender rights, Ginsburg dismantled long-entrenched systems of discrimination based on outdated stereotypes by showing how such laws hold back both genders. And as also shown in the materials brought together here, Justice Ginsburg had a special ability to appreciate how the decisions of the high court impact the lived experiences of everyday Americans. The passing of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg in September 2020 as this book was heading into production was met with a public outpouring of grief. With her death, the country lost a hero and national treasure whose incredible life and legacy made the United States a more just society and one in which \"We the People,\" for whom the Constitution is written, includes everyone.
