Before Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the judge, she was a young Jewish girl growing up in Brooklyn, inspired by books, past female trailblazers, and her mother to make the world a better, more just place to be. So even when people turned her away--for being a girl and for being Jewish; she never stopped fighting for equal treatment for everyone by pushing back against unjust laws and the beliefs around them.

We the people
