Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 to 2020. She was the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court. 

Why does she inspire us? 

As far as inspirational women go, Ruth Bader Ginsburg is up there with the best of them. She was a powerful female figure, American lawyer and jurist who spent the majority of her legal career as a proponent for gender equality and women’s rights. She stood her ground and was undeterred by the men who tried to silence her. Ginsburg’s fearless nature and hard work has played a monumental part in changing the world for the better and has solidified her as a pop-culture sensation. Ruth brought forth a number of things for women in her career, including getting women on the jury, pushed to protect pregnant women in the workplace and was a key vote in granting same-sex marriages.
