GINSBURG, RUTH BADER, and ANDERS BRUZELIUS. Civil Procedure in Sweden. The Hague: Martinus Nijhoff, 1965.
Hardcover, without dust jacket. Bookplate of Ruth and Martin Ginsburg to the front pastedown.
RUTH BADER GINSBURG'S COPY OF HER FIRST BOOK, PUBLISHED AS PART OF THE COLUMBIA PROJECT ON INTERNATIONAL PROCEDURE. After law school and a prestigious clerkship, and faced with a job market that offered women substantially lower salaries than their male counterparts, Ginsburg opted instead to participate in the Columbia University Project on International Procedure. This book on Civil Procedure in Sweden is the first publication of the project as well as her first book publication. Her interest in international procedure would color her judicial view throughout her career. Additionally, Sweden's egalitarian society—where two-income families were normal and women openly debated shared parenting roles—opened Ginsburg's eyes to the pervasive inequalities affecting women in America.
