A life in the law
Columbia Law Professor Ruth Bader Ginsburg in 1980.Born Joan Ruth Bader in Brooklyn, New York in 1933, Ginsburg excelled at school, in part thanks to the encouragement of her mother, Celia Bader, who died of cancer the day before Ginsburg's high school graduation. She went on to complete a Bachelor of Arts degree in government at Cornell University in 1954 as the highest-ranking female student in her graduating class. A month after graduating, she married Martin D. Ginsburg, but neither she nor her husband believed that married life meant the end of her career aspirations as was common at the time. Ginsburg enrolled at Harvard Law School in 1956 as one of nine women in a class of 500; the Dean reportedly asked all the female students, including Ginsburg, "How do you justify taking a spot from a qualified man?"
She transferred to Columbia Law School when her husband took a position in New York City. Although she graduated tied for first in her class in 1959 and had a strong recommendation from Harvard Law's Dean, Ginsburg was turned down for a clerkship position for a Supreme Court Justice due to her gender. She took a clerkship with a judge in the New York District Court and later founded the Women's Rights Law Reporter, the first law journal in the U.S. focused on women's rights. During the 1970s, she taught at Columbia Law School where she became the first woman to receive tenure and co-wrote the first law school casebook on sex discrimination.
Ginsburg co-founded the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU in 1972 and, as its chief litigator, argued several landmark courses in front of the Supreme Court, including Reed v. Reed which extended the Equal Protection Clause — or equal protection under the law — to women for the first time. In this case, the Supreme Court ruled that an Idaho State Code requiring "males must be preferred to females" in selecting administrators of estates or inheritances was discriminatory and unconstitutional. Ginsburg served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit for thirteen years until her appointment by President Bill Clinton to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993, when she become the second female justice on the Supreme Court.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her official portrait in 2016.On the Supreme Court, Ginsburg became famous for delivering searing dissents and for being one of the Court's main advocates for advancing women's rights under the law. As she explained once in an interview: "I was a law school teacher, and that's how I regard my role here with my colleagues, who haven't had the experience of growing up female and don't fully appreciate the arbitrary barriers that have been put in women's way."
Ginsburg has also become known in recent years by a new nickname — Notorious RBG! Originally started as a Tumblr page to honor the Justice, Notorious RBG is a play on words referencing fellow Brooklyn native, the late rapper Notorious B.I.G.. The popular book, Notorious RBG, explores both Ginsburg's influential legal career and her recent rise as a cultural icon. Its co-author, Irin Carmon explains Ginsburg's mass appeal, stating: "I don't think the iconic status that she's achieved could happen without social media at all, because I think the Internet has given young women the opportunity to choose our own heroes."
Ginsburg served on the Supreme Court for over 27 years until her death of pancreatic cancer at the age of 87 on September 18, 2020. During those many years of service, Ginsburg continued to bring her unique perspective and her decades of legal experience to the Supreme Court's judgments. However, when asked, she said there was one major change she wished to see in her lifetime: "If I could choose an amendment to add to the Constitution, it would be the Equal Rights Amendment... a prime part of the history of our Constitution is the story of the extension of constitutional rights to people once ignored or excluded."
As the world's oldest written constitution, the U.S. Constitution was written during a period when gender equality was far from being an important societal value. While over time the U.S. has passed many laws protecting women's rights, Ginsburg observed, "Legislation can be repealed. It can be altered... That principle belongs in our Constitution." Moreover, Ginsburg said that when her granddaughters read the Constitution, she would like them to see that the "notion — that women and men are persons of equal stature — I’d like them to see that is a basic principle of our society."
