520    "Celebrated NPR correspondent Nina Totenberg delivers an 
       extraordinary memoir of her personal successes, struggles,
       and life-affirming relationships, including her beautiful 
       friendship of nearly fifty years with Supreme Court 
       Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.  Four years before Nina 
       Totenberg was hired at NPR, where she cemented her legacy 
       as a prizewinning 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, often could not apply for credit cards 
       or get a mortgage in their own names, Ruth patiently 
       explained her argument. That call launched a remarkable, 
       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. During the devastating illness and eventual 
       death of Nina's first husband, Ruth drew her out of grief;
       twelve years later, Nina would reciprocate when Ruth's 
       beloved husband died. They shared not only a love of opera,
       but also of 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 compelling, 
       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 and true meaning of friendship." -
