Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was widely regarded as a cool, impactful, and inspiring figure. Here are a few reasons why:
1. Groundbreaking career: Ginsburg was the second woman to be appointed to the United States Supreme Court, and she had a long and impressive legal career before that. She fought tirelessly for women's rights and gender equality, and her work paved the way for many others to follow.
2. Fearlessness: Standing at a tall 5'1", her small stature deterred her from nothing. Ginsburg was known for her fearlessness and determination in the face of adversity. She faced discrimination and obstacles throughout her career, but she never gave up or backed down from her principles.
3. Intellectual rigor: Ginsburg was deeply respected for her intelligence, her legal acumen, and her sharp wit. She was a master of legal writing and argument, and her opinions and dissents on the Supreme Court are still studied and admired today. I never got the chance to ask her directly, but I have a strong feeling that "Speak Up, Sister!" was one of her daily mantras.
4. Pop culture icon: Ginsburg became something of a pop culture icon in her later years, with her "Notorious RBG" nickname and her appearances in documentaries and films. She was a source of inspiration and hope for many young people, particularly women, who saw her as a role model and trailblazer.
5. Fashionista: Her signature lace collars have been reproduced as well as artfully captured in other pieces such as earrings, necklaces, shoes, shirts, and even socks.
Happy Heavenly Birthday, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Your legacy lives on forever!
