Her highest court opinions were in major conflict with my own.
Yet, I believe fully in the design and balance of our government. Our forefathers may not have envisioned women, yet, she chartered an unorthodox path-especially of her generation-to the Supreme Court.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who was only the second female justice to sit on the nation's highest court, was a fierce crusader for women's rights. She credited her mother, who died of cancer a day before Ginsburg graduated from high school, with influencing her advocacy for women.
"My mother told me two things constantly: One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent. The latter was something very unusual ... because for most girls growing up in the 1940s, the most important degree was not your B.A., but your 'M.R.S.,'"
We could disagree about a lot but thank you for your service, independent lady!
Rest In Peace.
