Product Information

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.

Reviews
"Even if the women at the center of the story were not trailblazing boundary-breakers, this would be an extraordinary tale of a lifelong friendship. The fact that Nina and Ruth are each legends in their own right makes this a must-read for anyone with an interest in history, politics, the law, and media." -- Ari Shapiro, host of All Things Considered, "A genial, likable tone. Totenberg's stories are lively but never go on too long; she appears to reflexively turn the reader's attention to the generosity or small kindnesses of others. She writes, without pretension or self-congratulation, about moments of journalistic triumph of which she has every right to be proud...Her final display of friendship in this book entails laying bare just how frail Ginsburg truly was -- and how extraordinary she was to persevere and inspire for as long as she did." - The New York Times Book Review "Count me among those who rely on NPR reporter Nina Totenberg's crystalline explanations for all things legal, especially Supreme Court arcana -- no one is clearer and more incisive...[ Dinner with Ruth ] is a memoir about Nina Totenberg, a jaunt through her captivating life and career, nose for the jugular, and forthrightness about her joys and sorrows... What's not to enjoy about being in Totenberg's sparkling company for an entire book?" - NPR " Dinners With Ruth is really three excellent books: a memoir of Nina Totenberg's relatively blessed life; an anecdotal account of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's; and, finally, a paean to the bond of friendship, which, like fine wine, gets better with age." - Star Tribune "A warm, deeply felt homage to friendship, to what it means to show up and be present for each other, especially in difficult times." - Washington Independent Review of Books " Totenberg is the voice of authority on all things related to the U.S. Supreme Court... Readers who respect and admire Totenberg's reporting will understand what is lost and lament what cannot be reclaimed." - Washington Post, "Honor[s] Ginsburg's strength. Her final display of friendship in this book entails laying bare just how frail Ginsburg truly was -- and how extraordinary she was to persevere and inspire for as long as she did." - The New York Times Book Review "In Dinners with Ruth , readers will learn about the critical role Ginsburg played in expanding women's rights before and after she was on the bench. Totenberg's look behind Ginsburg's legendary reserve is of special interest... What's not to enjoy about being in Totenberg's sparkling company for an entire book?" - NPR " Dinners With Ruth is really three excellent books: a memoir of Nina Totenberg's relatively blessed life; an anecdotal account of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's; and, finally, a paean to the bond of friendship, which, like fine wine, gets better with age. It is so engagingly written, so captivating..." - Star Tribune "Immersive, informative, and colorful, as befits a journalist of such stature ... a warm, deeply felt homage to friendship, to what it means to show up and be present for each other, especially in difficult times." - Washington Independent Review of Books
