The new book reimagines the Tumblr page and nickname created by Knizhnik in 2013 as a tribute to Justice Ginsburg's dissent in Shelby County v. Holder, a case that struck down a major part of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

The Tumblr and nickname caught on with millennials and spawned a pop culture obsession with the Supreme Court justice. Now you can find t-shirts, coffee mugs and even baby clothes emblazoned with Notorious RBG iconography.
