RBG—Her Life & Legacy

Enlarge image

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a giant of American history. As a law professor and litigator for the American Civil Liberties Union, she was the architect of the gender equality revolution in the law. As an appellate judge and then a Supreme Court Justice, she was known for her precise, path-breaking decisions, and later for searing dissents. Later in life, she became a feminist and pop cultural icon, the Notorious R.B.G.
