Description
A striking portrait of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and her historic tenure on the United States Supreme Court, brought to life with incisive quotes and bold photographs of her iconic collars.
The Collars of RBG presents a unique visual tribute to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. "RBG was unlike any other. So is this visual tribute to her." - Pete Souza, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Obama: An Intimate Portrait
A PARADE BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
The collar is a powerful point of entry for exploring Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's life and her tireless work on America's highest court. The twenty-five neckpieces captured here, in over eighty stunning photographs by award-winning photographer Elinor Carucci, offer insight into RBG's legacy. Her sharp use of language, a linchpin of her notorious dissents, is celebrated throughout, with quotes to support each collar and its story. The bold, ornate, and subversive collars she chose to wear on the bench communicated so much more.
Shortly after RBG's passing in September 2020, Carucci was commissioned by Time magazine for a commemorative piece on the late justice, focused on the stories behind her legendary collars. Here, Carucci and co-author Sara Bader use each collar to highlight a defining career moment, from RBG's earliest argument for gender equality to her support of immigration and marriage equality throughout her twenty-seven years on the bench. Some of her collars are well-known, like her dissent collar, or her favourite white beaded neckpiece that she wore for important portraits. Other collars are less familiar but tell poignant stories of artists, colleagues, friends, and fans whose gifts to Justice Ginsburg found meaning in her hands.
Small in stature but towering in influence, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was described as a titan, a civil rights hero, and most poetically, by her colleague Justice Stephen Breyer, "a rock of righteousness." The Collars of RBG is an artful collection of moments from this warrior's legacy, crystallising the many ways RBG reshaped the cultural landscape for us all.
