Ruth Bader Ginsburg, RBG, as she was historically known, was an American jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. She was the second woman to serve in the U.S. Supreme Court, after Sandra Day O'Connor. Ginsburg spent much of her legal career as an advocate for gender equality and women's rights, winning many arguments before the Supreme Court. But RBG wasn’t only someone fighting for women's rights.
