We often make assumptions based on another’s appearance. One of the factors that use to make those assumptions is the height of a person.
Today is Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s 86th birthday. Born in Brooklyn in 1933, she was part of the first generation of women in the 1950’s who sought out a professional career while maintaining a marriage and raising children. Though she facing discrimination on multiple fronts, she knew that the fight for the rights of American women was paramount. In 1993, she became the second female Justice on the Supreme Court when President Bill Clinton appointed her as the then newest member of SCOTUS.
I think the best quote to sum up Justice Ginsburg comes from A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
“Though she be but little, she is fierce!”
Justice Ginsburg is one of the many women who paved the way for this generation of American woman. She fought for our rights and lit a fire under our collective bottoms that will never go out.
Happy Birthday Ruth Bader Ginsburg!
