Ruth Bader Ginsburg, liberal lioness of the Supreme Court, dies latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
Ginsburg championed women’s rights. She was a trailblazing civil rights attorney who methodically chipped away at discriminatory practices, then as the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court, and finally as an unlikely pop culture icon. She died at 87.
Well into her 80s, Ginsburg was surprised & delighted to discover she had become a celebrity, particularly among a new generation of women. Her appearances at universities & law schools drew large, adoring crowds. She was the subject of several films including “RBG” a documentary
At her nomination, Ginsburg honored her mom: She was “the bravest, strongest person I have known, who was taken from me too soon. I pray that I may be all that she would have been had she lived in an age when women could aspire & achieve & daughters r cherished as much as sons"
