5 books on the quest for marriage equality, all signed and inscribed to Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
1. KLARMAN, MICHAEL J. From the Closet to the Altar. Oxford University Press, 2012. Hardcover, dust jacket. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED IN THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION FOR "JUSTICE GINSBURG."
2. STONE, GEOFFREY R. Sex and the Constitution: Sex, Religion, and Law from America's Origins to the Twenty-First Century. Liveright Publishing Corporation, 2017. Hardcover, dust jacket. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED: "For Ruth, With deepest appreciation for all you do — especially for your correction of my error on page 371!" In a chapter titled "The Road to Roe," Stone is discussing the case of Sherri Chessen (a.k.a. Finkbine) on p 371, and in a footnote acknowledges RBG's correction of the word "mother" to "woman," in the definition of therapeutic abortion, "necessary to save the life of the woman."
3. RICHARDS, DAVID A.J. Women, Gays, and the Constitution: The Grounds for Feminism and Gay Rights in Culture and Law. University of Chicago Press, 1998. Hardcover, publisher's thick wraparound wrapper (possible the paperback wrappers issued as a proof or trial jacket). FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED IN THE YEAR OF PUBLICATION: "For Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Who made it all possible. With appreciation."
4. ESKRIDGE, WILLIAM N. Marriage Equality: From Outlaws to In-Laws. Yale University Press, 2020. Hardcover, dust jacket. PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED: "Many thanks for your mentorship—in memory of Marty...."
5. ESKRIDGE, WILLIAM N. Dishonorable Passions: Sodomy Laws in America, 1861-2003. Viking, 2008. FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED TO "JUSTICE GINSBURG."
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was instrumental in establishing marriage equality in the United States. From the Lawrence v. Texas decision (overturning the earlier Bowers v. Hardwick case upholding the criminalization of sodomy), to the decisions overturning the Defense of Marriage Act and California's Proposition 8, Ginsburg and the rest of the liberal wing of the court moved gay rights and marriage equality from the margins to the mainstream.
