Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born on March 15, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York. She was graduated from James Madison High School in 1950. Later, she got married to Martin Ginsburg who met her on a blind date. 

Ginsberg was inspired by two proverbs constantly said by her mother Cecelia. "One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent." With that being said, Ginsburg began seeking women's rights when she initially encountered gender discrimination. After a string of rejections, In 1972, she became the first tenured female professor at Columbia Law School. As a step towards minimizing gender discrimination, she had handled complaints referred by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). She assumed that men and women would "create new traditions by their actions if artificial barriers are removed and avenues of opportunities held open to them". Therefore, she established the Project Women's Rights to remove barriers and open opportunities. 

During her time in ACLU, she had her first oral argument in the Frontiero v Richardson case, in which she challenged the assumption that "a man is not likely to be a dependent spouse". 

As time flew to 1980, President Jimmy Carter appointed R.B. Ginsburg to the U.S Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia. Eventually, she has been proclaimed as the Supreme Court Justice in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. Several expressed their concerns that how she could become Supreme Court Justice from social advocate. But fortunately, she was easily confirmed by the Senate, 96-3. 

As a judge, Ginsburg was considered part of the Supreme Court's moderate liberal bloc with a strong voice in terms of gender equality, the rights of workers, and the separation of church and state. As a consequence, in 1999, she won the American Bar Association’s Thurgood Marshall Award for her contribution to gender equality and civil rights. 

On June 27, 2010, R.B. Ginsburg’s husband, Martin, passed away due to cancer. She described Martin as her biggest booster and “the only young man I dated who cared that I had a brain.”

After 27 years of successfully creating values as a Supreme Court Justice, R.B. Ginsburg rests her soul in peace on September 18, 2020, due to complications from metastatic pancreas cancer.
