My justice is Ruth Bader Ginsburg
This was just my favorite line, "Those who like to believe they have picked themselves up by the bootstraps sometimes forget that they wouldn't even have boots were it not for the women who came before. "
Ginsburg, before she was a justice, found an Exhibit (Exhibit E) that documented various laws that differed between the sexes.
She took many of these laws to the Supreme Court and achieved five victories.
Ginsburg once had to hide her second pregnancy so she could receive tenure. This and a run in with her sons school contributed to her silent fight for women.
