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." -- $c Provided by publisher. 505 00 $g Prologue: $t Epilogue. $t The first stirrings of friendship -- $t Making friends and a few enemies -- $t Unexpected friends -- $t Friends and love -- $t Friends in need -- $t Friends of the court -- $t Friends and confidences -- $t Supreme friends -- $t Male friends -- $t Friends in joy -- $t Nourishing friendships -- $t Friendship and hardships -- $t Fame and friendship -- $t Friendship is a choice -- $t Losing friends -- $t Finding my father's long-lost friend -- $t Farewell to my friend -- $t Epilogue. 600 10 $a Totenberg, Nina $x Friends and associates. 600 10 $a Ginsburg, Ruth Bader, $d 1933-2020 $x Friends and associates. 650 0 $a Radio broadcasters $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Judges $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Female friendship. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Personal Memoirs. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Lawyers & Judges. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a Ginsburg, Ruth Bader, $d 1933-2020 $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00009942 600 17 $a Totenberg, Nina. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00243155 650 7 $a Female friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00922609 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00935174 650 7 $a Judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00984490 650 7 $a Radio broadcasters. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01087222 650 7 $a Women judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178081 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Women's friendships. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Friendships. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Homosociality. $2 homoit 650 7 $a Women in radio broadcasting $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Radio broadcasters $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Jewish women $z United States $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Women judges $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Judges $v Biography. $2 sears 650 7 $a Friendship. $2 sears 655 0 $a Autobiographies. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919894 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Autobiographies. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20230925111200.0 $n 5 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3482651C5BA411EE9A4D91E9123FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
