More quotes by Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Prisons should be co-ed because separate quarters are discriminatory.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Whatever community organization, whether it's a women's organization, or fighting for racial justice ... you will get satisfaction out of doing something to give back to the community that you never get in any other way.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg

Dissents speak to a future age.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady, and the other was to be independent. The study of law was unusual for women of my generation. For most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A., but your M.R.S.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I do think that being the second [female Supreme Court Justice] is wonderful, because it is a sign that being a woman in a place of importance is no longer extraordinary.

When contemplated in its extreme, almost any power looks dangerous.
