Page Breaks this week will be on Wed 07 October at 1pm. We’ll be thinking about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and (among other things) her use of feminist fashion. Our main text for this week is Vanessa Friedman’s New York Times commentary, ‘Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s Lace Collar Wasn’t an Accessory, it was a Gauntlet’
