Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the second woman appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in history. She was a brilliant Law student who had to face work discrimination in her youth, before she turned into a staunch advocate for gender equality and women's rights. She has earned deep respect from her colleagues at the Court and in recent years, she has become a popular icon for her refusal to step down, despite her age, her serious health problems and her minority position in the Supreme Court. She is known as "Notorious R.B.G." In this B2 text from Inc. magazine you can read some of her most inspiring quotes.
