Ruth Bader Ginsburg Through the Years

A groundbreaking litigator for women’s rights before being appointed to the bench, Ruth Bader Ginsburg has worn many aspects in her eighty-five years. On the Justice’s birthday, flip through some photographs of her as a girl in Brooklyn, as a law graduate who left Columbia as co-valedictorian (but with no job offers), as a young mother, and as an advocate whose greatest legacy may be in the cases that she argued before what was then an all-male Supreme Court—and won. 

(Photographs from the collection of the Supreme Court of the United States.)

When I saw this post and started scrolling I had this terrible feeling that the unspeakable had happened. I’m glad to find that I was wrong.
