More from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"I don't think there's any one way to be a feminist. I think it's about believing in equal opportunity for men and women."
"I try to teach through my opinions, through my speeches, how important it is to love your country, but always to be striving to make it a better country."
"I would like to see more women in all fields of endeavor. Not just law."
"I think that the law should be a shield for the weak, not a sword for the strong."
"We are at a time when we are seeing a lot of change, and I hope it will be for the better."
About Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933-2020)
Associate Justice of the US Supreme Court (1993-2020), gender-equality litigator at the ACLU Women's Rights Project before the bench, and the second woman ever appointed. Closely associated with Sandra Day O'Connor (first woman Justice and her predecessor in that role) and Elena Kagan (Obama-appointed colleague). For an intellectual contrast, see Antonin Scalia, conservative originalist Justice (1936-2016) — RBG and Scalia disagreed on nearly every major constitutional case but maintained a famous personal friendship over opera. Their friendship-across-doctrinal-divide became the canonical example of judicial collegiality despite total disagreement — and Scalia's originalism vs RBG's living-Constitution liberalism are the cleanest two American constitutional methodologies.
