Ruth Bader Ginsburg spent a lifetime prospering in the face of adversity before being appointed to Supreme Court Justice, where she successfully fought against gender discrimination and merged the liberal block of the court. Sadly, she passed away September 18th, 2020 due to complications associated with metastatic pancreas cancer. She was an incredibly strong woman and fought relentlessly for what she believed in. So, it’s only right that we honor the elegant and brave woman she was on our site… here are five life lessons from Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
“My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.”
“I said on the equality side of it, that it is essential to a woman’s equality with man that she be the decision-maker, that her choice be controlling.”
“Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.”
“The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.”
“It helps sometimes to be a little deaf (in marriage and in) every workplace, including the good job I have now.”
