Dissenter on the Bench

Those who listen to this paean to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg will come to understand how the Supreme Court justice gained her legions of devoted fans long before narrator Lisa Larsen finishes recounting several of her most notable cases. These cases are used to illustrate the devotion to connotational rights, gender equality, and personal principles that have characterized the great "RBG" throughout her life and career. Larsen's delivery, which rarely changes in pitch, uses pauses to emphasize important moments and concepts, as well as the young people who are frequently at the heart of the cases. The pauses help with clarity while keeping the dramatic flow of the narrative intact. Larsen's steady narration is delivered with warmth and enthusiasm that reflect the audiobook's subject.
