A ONE-WOMAN SHOW: The New Friends of the Saugus Public Library welcome Sheryl Faye as Ruth Bader Ginsburg – “I Dissent” – on Saturday, October 11, at 2 p.m. in the Community Room at the Saugus Public Library. Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an American lawyer and jurist who served on the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. As a Supreme Court justice, Ginsburg stood out because she was not afraid to dissent and disagree with conditions of unfairness and inequality. This one-woman show is the inspiring story of how she changed her life—and ours.
