Abstract

Ruth Bader Ginsburg (1933–2020) was a jurist and associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Ginsburg’s early commitmentto women’s rights and equality was perhaps forged when the dean of Harvard Law School asked her and her eight female classmates why they were taking up seats at the school that rightly should be occupied by men. If that were not enough, she was unable to win a clerkship for a U.S. Supreme Court justice because of her gender, and she did not receive a job offer from the New York City firm where she clerked during the summer before her final year in law school.
