Celebrating the Life and Legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg

If there was a woman in contemporary times who embodied the spirit of the American suffragists who 100 years ago this summer earned women the right to vote, it was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

A graduate of Cornell University and Columbia Law School, Ginsburg made important legal advances for women under the Equal Protection Clause of the Constitution. She was known for advocating against laws that appear to favor women because they are based on stereotypes but actually harm women in the long run.

Ginsburg was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals by President Jimmy Carter in 1980 and the U.S. Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, where she served until her death this past Friday. 

The greatest way to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg is to plan now to vote in this election. For more information about RBG, you can read her New York Times obituary by clicking below.
