The nation continues to mourn the loss of Judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who died Friday, two months after her pancreatic cancer reappeared. She was 87 years old.
Born to working-class Jewish immigrants in Brooklyn, Ginsburg would break every imaginable boundary, first as one of eight female law students at Harvard Law and later as a prolific lawyer who argued issues related to gender equality before the United States Supreme Court.
In 1993, President Bill Clinton appointed Ginsburg to that court, the second woman in history to serve on the nation’s highest legal tribunal.
During her 27 years as a Supreme Court judge, Ginsburg shaped history as a compassionate and liberal champion, eventually becoming the dean of the court’s liberal camp.
