Stories
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's resilience is particularly inspiring to me; she has demonstrated time and again that she will not be stopped by constricting gender roles.
During law school, Ginsburg, or RBG, supported both her and her husband Marty’s studies after he was diagnosed with cancer.
