Why is today special? It's the birthdate of former Associate Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and in her memory, let's celebrate her passion for gender equality advocacy.
According to Kim Elsesser in Forbes, "How did Ruth Bader Ginsburg become such a feminist rock star? Ginsburg learned about gender discrimination firsthand at school and in the workplace. At Harvard Law School, Ginsburg and other female students were questioned by the dean as to why they felt they were entitled to take the spot of an aspiring male lawyer. Ginsburg realized that women could never achieve equality with men if outdated stereotypes were holding them back."
I've chosen three of my favorite RBG quotes below:
Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
Women belong in all places where decisions are being made. It shouldn't be that women are the exception.
We are at last beginning to relegate to the history books the idea of the token woman.
How will you celebrate RBG's legacy? I invite you to chime in and share!
