Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933–2020) was an American jurist who served as an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her passing. Born on March 15, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York, Ginsburg earned her law degree from Columbia Law School and co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Throughout her legal career, she was a pioneering advocate for gender equality and women's rights.
Appointed to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton, Ginsburg became the second woman to serve on the nation's highest court. During her tenure, she was known for her thoughtful and principled approach to interpreting the law, often advocating for progressive positions on issues such as abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and voting rights. Her strong dissents and opinions made her a revered figure among liberals and a powerful voice for justice and equality.
Ginsburg's legacy extends beyond her judicial work; she became a cultural icon and role model, earning the nickname "Notorious RBG." Her lifelong dedication to fighting discrimination and advancing equality reshaped the legal landscape of the United States. Ginsburg passed away on September 18, 2020, leaving behind a legacy of courage, resilience, and unwavering commitment to justice.
