An old lady lives in a hospital and is reported by major media?
You must know that this old lady is not an ordinary person.
Her name was Ruth bader ginsburg.
Ginsburg is one of nine U.S. Supreme Court justices, the second female justice on the Supreme Court after Sandra Day O'Connor, and the only Female Justice for American Jews.
This legendary old lady, who holds a high position and is a liberal leader, so her physical health can be said to have touched the hearts of countless Americans.
If Ginsburg is forced to retire early because of physical problems, it is undoubtedly a big deal for American politics.
Her words and deeds may be related to the future direction of the United States.
Then again, Ginsburg spent 87 years living herself as a faith.
In her youth, it was not easy for a woman who was only 1.52 meters tall to reach the peak she is today.
Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York in 1933.
Her parents attached great importance to her education, and her childhood was immersed in the library.
Ginsburg showed great intelligence from an early age, and when he grew up, he lived up to expectations, admitted to Cornell University, and then successfully enrolled in Harvard Law School.
In Ginsburg's time, sexism in American society was severe.
Later, she followed her husband to New York and transferred to Columbia Law School for further study.
In 1959, Ginsburg graduated with the honor of being the first in the class.
but! Such a cattle x study experience, actually in the search for a job is struggling!
Despite holding a letter of recommendation from the dean of Harvard Law School, the U.S. Supreme Court justice at the time was reluctant to give her an internship.
This is what the American workplace was like in the 1960s!
Women are pregnant and may even lose their jobs. The status is extremely low, how can it be fair?
Second, Ginsburg then began serving as an assistant judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York.
From 1961 to 1963, she was a fellow in the International Procedural Law Program at the Faculty of Law of the University of Colombia.
In the 1970s, she was a professor of law at Rutgers University and Columbia University.
During her time at the school, she dedicated herself to speaking up for women and founded the first women-focused law magazine in the United States, Women's Legal Reports.
She later became historicly the first female professor at Columbia to receive a tenured faculty and wrote the first law school case book on sexism.
But she still has a sacred yearning for the Supreme Court in her heart.
During his academic career at Columbia, Ginsburg also served as chief counsel to the American Civil Liberties Union.
As a result, he had the opportunity to defend himself in a series of women's rights cases in the Supreme Court, and gained a high reputation.
In April 1980, President Jimmy Carter formally appointed Ginsburg as a judge of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Federal Circuit.
She did so for 13 years, until June 1993, when President Clinton formally nominated her as a Supreme Court justice.
Sure enough, dignity needs to rely on strength to justify the name.
A career in justice, though a little late, will never be absent.
After joining the Supreme Court, Ginsburg's struggle for equality between men and women was like a hanging.
Support women's right to abortion!
Fight for equal pay for women!
She even went so far as to say publicly that the nine justices of the Supreme Court were all women and completely ok.
Because in the history of looking ahead, it is all male leaders. I hope you don't get too double standard.
With the rise of liberalism in the United States, Ginsburg became a leader-level altar figure.
In 2015, he was also featured on the cover of Time Magazine.
People like her, and even Ginsburg's perimeter is everywhere ↓
In addition, Ginsburg is a real old lady.
In an interview with a New York Times reporter, Ginsburg called Trump a "liar, really conceited" and "a fearsome presidential candidate," and said, "If Trump becomes our president, I can't imagine what this place will look like, I can't imagine what this country will look like."
Although she also knew that her identity was also inappropriate, she was not happy to spit it out. Later, he was forced to apologize to Trump for this remark.
You see, this small woman who looks weak and can't help the wind, who has fought for equality between men and women all her life, is a tenacious fighter.
Xiaobian only wants to sigh: such a hard-core female life, the movie does not dare to shoot like this.
but! That's how the movie really worked!!!
This is the American biographical drama film "On the basis of sex" based on Ginsburg's inspirational life.
As a small girl, she had the determination to change the law and change America. And whether she succeeds or not, change will come.
As she says in the film: "Even if the law does not change, people's hearts are changing, society is progressing, and it is impossible to stop people's thinking from changing." ”
