Ginsburg died of metastatic pancreatic cancer at her home in Washington, D.C., surrounding by family.
To say the loss of Ginsburg, an historic figure who served 27 years on the nation’s highest court and was the leader of the liberal wing, is a heavy one would be a severe understatement. Leading up to her first judicial appointment in 1980, Ginsburg led the fight in courts for gender equality for more than a decade.
In 1971, Ginsburg was instrumental in launching the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. During that time, she helped write the ACLU brief inin awarding the administration of a child’s estate.” “Reliance on overbroad generalizations … estimates about the way most men or most women are, will not suffice to deny opportunity to women whose talent and capacity place them outside the average description,” Ginsburg wrote.
Ginsburg also served as the ACLU’s General Counsel from 1973 to 1980 and on the National Board of Directors from 1974 to 1980. every time RBG is sick I just can't shake how disturbing the whole conversation around her feels. she's almost 90. she shouldn't have to feel like the whole republic depends on her survival. I mean, I get it. I feel the same. but its just so unfortunate.
