Throughout the book, an ongoing theme is how RBG has fought / is fighting for human rights, particularly in regards to gender equality. The main text is broken up by little sidebars, such as a page about RBG's exercise routine. It is also peppered with illustrations, from photographs of RBG to images of fun and quirky RBG paraphernalia (e.g., online memes). Sometimes these illustrations are more pertinent to the concurrent text than other times. All in all, this is an interesting read for those who enjoy reading about recent history or anything regarding legal contexts and/or equality.
