Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the second female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. “Her legacy as a jurist, professor, lawyer and scholar will endure for generations and we are honored to erect a permanent statue. She grew up in Brooklyn, New York, in the 1930s and 40s. Among her many activist actions during her legal career, Ginsburg worked to upend legislation that discriminated based on one’s gender, was a founding counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union’s Women’s Rights Project, designed and taught law courses on gender discrimination laws, and was outspoken about her disagreements …
She became the second female justice (after Sandra Day O’Connor), the first Jewish justice since 1969, and the first female Jewish justice ever. She has described her approach to the law as cautious and measured, but over a quarter-century on the high court she assembled a track record of decisions placing her firmly in the court's liberal wing. Justice Ginsburg went to Harvard for law school but transferred to Columbia Law School after her husband got a job in New York. It’s never easy being the first and the only representative of your class of people.” While at Columbia, she co-authored the first law school casebook on sex discrimination in 1974.
After allowing Alito to go on, and mindful that the Court has often allowed doctors to stand in the shoes of women challenging such laws, Ginsburg spoke up again dryly. I thought I could do a lawyer’s job better than any other.” RBG wasn’t wrong: She tied for first in her class at Columbia. Again and again, she won. But her educational victories weren’t without struggle. As a Supreme Court Justice, Ginsburg became known for not only her powerful majority opinions but also fiery dissents. "If the woman has a problem, it will be her local hospital that she will need to go to for the care, not something 30 miles from the clinic, which does not have a necessary relationship to where she lives," Ginsburg said. “Every year they would get half a dozen or so complaints from Orthodox Jews who said, ‘We’re so proud of our membership in the Supreme Court Bar, but we can’t frame our certificate and put it on the wall because it says, ‘In the Year of Our Lord,’ and he’s not our lord,” Ginsburg said. "Would you have done anything different," Ginsburg asked a lawyer challenging the law, if the issue had been "timely raised?". The law requires doctors to have admitting privileges at a hospital 30 miles from the clinic. By Ariane de Vogue, CNN Supreme Court Reporter.

For most girls growing up in the ’40s, the most important degree was not your BA, but your MRS,” Ginsburg said, according to the ACLU. As a judge, Ginsburg was considered part of the Supreme Court’s moderate-liberal bloc, presenting a strong voice in favor of gender equality, the rights of workers and the separation of church and state. Ginsburg noted that in "most hospitals in Louisiana," in order to get admitting privileges, you have to have admitted a threshold number of patients. She took up the mantle of litigating gender inequality cases with measured, conservative baby steps, tackling one law at a time, because she thought radical change would be too much too soon. “Her thinking was that male judges would appreciate the injustice in a case where men were the victims, and in winning those cases she was building the scaffolding for addressing the sexism women suffered.
Ginsburg piped up again, asking Rikelman whether she "might" have added a patient "or two" to the lawsuit "just as insurance" had she thought Louisiana would make such a standing argument. In New York, hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse in Foley Square in Lower Manhattan, holding candles and singing. At times, she even went after her own conservative colleagues.
