Ruth Bader Ginsburg faced defining challenges throughout her legal career. As one of the few women in her class at Harvard Law School, she faced gender discrimination and skepticism about her capabilities. Despite these obstacles, Ginsburg co-founded the Women’s Rights Project at the ACLU, fighting for gender equality and challenging laws that perpetuated discrimination. Her perseverance led to a landmark victory in Frontiero v. Richardson, which laid the groundwork for future gender discrimination cases. Additionally, as a Supreme Court Justice, she continually advocated for civil rights and social justice, becoming an icon for many in the fight for equality.
