Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s accomplishments and influence on gender equality are legendary. She became the second female justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Born in 1933 in Brooklyn, New York, Bader taught at Rutgers University Law School and then at Columbia University, where she became its first female tenured professor. In law school, she was the first person to make both the Columbia and Harvard Law Review.

She served as the director of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s and argued 6 landmark gender equality cases before the Supreme Court. She won 5. She was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980. Named to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton, she continued to argue for gender equality in such cases as United States v. Virginia.

​She died September 18, 2020 due to complications from metastatic pancreas cancer.
