Despite all of the ways Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg made history, she recognized that the fight for equality was far from over. Despite this, the trailblazing attorney remained optimistic about the future throughout her 87 years.

Ginsburg, who was born in Brooklyn, received her law degree from Columbia (after transferring from Harvard) with only nine other women in her graduating class. She went on to become Columbia Law School's first female tenured professor, the founder of the Women's Rights Project and brought cases to the Supreme Court, where she eventually became the second female Justice in history in 1993.It also describes about  ruth bader ginsburg quotes.

Quotes by RBG about women and equality:

“I don’t say women’s rights—I say the constitutional principle of the equal citizenship stature of men and women.”

“My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent. The study of law was unusual for women of my generation. For most girls growing up in the ’40s, the most important degree was not your B.A., but your M.R.S.”  —via the ACLU

“Women will have achieved true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.” —ABC News, 2001

“I’m sometimes asked, ‘When will there be enough?’ and my answer is, ‘When there are nine.’ People are shocked. But there’d been nine men, and nobody’s ever raised a question about that.” —Georgetown Law School, 2015, on how many female Supreme Court Justices is enough

“If you’re a boy and you like teaching, you like nursing, you would like to have a doll, that’s OK. We should each be free to develop our own talents, whatever they may be, and not be held back by artificial barriers.” —My Own Words

“I always thought that there was nothing an antifeminist would want more than to have women only in women’s organizations, in their own little corner empathizing with each other and not touching a man’s world. If you’re going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.” —The New York Times, 2009

“In recent years, people have said, ‘This is the way I am.’ And others looked around, and we discovered it’s our next-door neighbor—we’re very fond of them, or it’s our child’s best friend, or even our child. I think that as more and more people came out and said that ‘this is who I am,’ the rest of us recognized that they are one of us.” —Bloomberg, 2015

“It’s an unconscious bias. It’s the expectation. You have a lowered expectation when you hear a woman speaking; I think that still goes on. That instinctively when a man speaks, he will be listened to, where people will not expect the woman to say anything of value. But all of the women in my generation have had, time and again, that experience where you say something at a meeting, and nobody makes anything of it. And maybe half an hour later, a man makes the identical point, and people react to it and say, ‘Good idea.’ That, I think, is a problem that persists.” —Slate, 2020

“I didn’t change the Constitution; the equality principle was there from the start. I just was an advocate for seeing its full realization.”

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn’t be that women are the exception.” —U.S. News, 2009
