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.
