Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a Supreme Court Justice, has worked throughout her legal career to decrease discriminatory practices against women. After being part of Harvard and Columbia Law Reviews and finishing at the top of her class at Columbia, she was rejected for the top clerkships because she was a woman.
Her career has been distinguished, including becoming the first tenured female professor at Columbia Law, writing the definitive law textbook on sex discrimination, cofounding the Women's Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union, and successfully arguing before the Supreme Court.
Her victories called into question many federal laws as discriminatory. Her career has set an admirable pattern for the increasing number of women lawyers, and has begun a process that will inspire many in the future to continue her battle against discrimination.
