Four years before Nina Totenberg started working at NPR, where she cemented her legacy as a prize-winning reporter, and nearly twenty-two years before Ruth Bader Ginsburg was appointed to the Supreme Court, Nina called Ruth. A reporter for The National Observer, Nina was curious about Ruth's legal brief, asking the Supreme Court to do something revolutionary: declare a law that discriminated "on the basis of sex" to be unconstitutional. In a time when women were fired for becoming pregnant and often could not apply for credit cards or get a mortgage, Ruth patiently explained her argument. That call launched a nearly fifty-year friendship. Dinners with Ruth is an extraordinary account of two women who paved the way for future generations by tearing down professional and legal barriers. It is also an intimate memoir of the power of friendships as women began to pry open career doors and transform the workplace. At the story's heart is one, special relationship: Ruth and Nina saw each other not only through personal joys, but also illness, loss, and widowhood. Ruth drew Nina out of grief during the devastating illness and eventual death of Nina's first husband; twelve years later, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth's beloved husband died. They shared a love of opera and shopping, as they instinctively understood that clothes were armor for women who wanted to be taken seriously in a workplace dominated by men. During Ruth's last year, they shared so many small dinners that Saturdays were "reserved for Ruth" in Nina's house. Dinners with Ruth also weaves together personal portraits of other fascinating women and men from Nina's life, including her cherished NPR colleagues Cokie Roberts and Linda Wertheimer; her beloved husbands; her friendships with multiple Supreme Court Justices, including Lewis Powell, William Brennan, and Antonin Scalia, and Nina's own family--her father, the legendary violinist Roman Totenberg, and her "best friends," her sisters. Inspiring and revelatory, Dinners with Ruth is a moving story of the joy of friendship. 001415223 5880_ $$aDescription based upon print version of record. 001415223 60010 $$aTotenberg, Nina$$xFriends and associates. 001415223 60010 $$aGinsburg, Ruth Bader,$$d1933-2020$$xFriends and associates. 001415223 60017 $$aGinsburg, Ruth Bader,$$d1933-2020.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00009942 001415223 60017 $$aTotenberg, Nina.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00243155 001415223 650_0 $$aRadio broadcasters$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 001415223 650_0 $$aJudges$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 001415223 650_0 $$aFemale friendship. 001415223 650_7 $$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs.$$2bisacsh 001415223 650_7 $$aBIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Lawyers & Judges.$$2bisacsh 001415223 650_7 $$aFemale friendship.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00922609 001415223 650_7 $$aFriendship.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00935174 001415223 650_7 $$aJudges.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst00984490 001415223 650_7 $$aRadio broadcasters.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01087222 001415223 651_7 $$aUnited States.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01204155 001415223 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001415223 655_4 $$aElectronic books. 001415223 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01919896 001415223 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aTotenberg, Nina$$tDinners with Ruth$$dNew York : Simon & Schuster, 2022$$z9781982188085$$w(OCoLC)1299301214 001415223 852__ $$bebk 001415223 85640 $$3eBooks on EBSCOhost$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&AuthType=ip,shib&db=nlebk&AN=3176723&site=ehost-live&scope=site$$zOnline Access 001415223 8564_ $$3Image$$uhttps://img1.od-cdn.com/ImageType-100/0439-1/{5FA1F384-DEEB-4C56-A201-504EDB68BC60}IMG100.JPG 001415223 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1415223$$pGLOBAL_SET 001415223 938__ $$aEBSCOhost$$bEBSC$$n3176723 001415223 980__ $$aBIB 001415223 980__ $$aEBOOK 001415223 982__ $$aEbook 001415223 983__ $$aOnline
