Speaking the Ruth to America
Ruth Bader Ginsburg became a Supreme Court Justice in 1993, but her popularity has exploded over the last couple of years as she has been adopted as a modern feminist icon. An octogenarian and New York native who has proven that disagreeing does not make one disagreeable, Ginsburg is well-known for her pithy observations as well as her strongly argued dissents. Beloved by many—including her ideological opposition, former Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who was her dear friend—Ginsburg’s wisdom has never been more relevant or more important to American democracy.
