America is known as a country that welcomes people to its shores. All kinds of people. The image of the Statue of Liberty with Emma Lazarus' famous poem. She lifts her lamp and welcomes people to the golden shore, where they will not experience prejudice because of the color of their skin, the religious faith that they follow.

'Whole Women's Health' made it very clear that poor women were no longer going to be left out.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I was the first tenured woman at Columbia. That was 1972; every law school was looking for its woman. Why? Because Stan Pottinger, who was then head of the office for civil rights of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, was enforcing the Nixon government contract program.

Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me two things constantly. One was to be a lady and the other was to be independent, and the law was something most unusual for those times because for most girls growing up in the '40s, the most important degree was not your B.A. but your M.R.S.

A gender line... helps to keep women not on a pedestal, but in a cage.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.

Reproductive choice has to be straightened out. There will never be a woman of means without choice anymore. That just seems to me so obvious. The states that changed their abortion laws before Roe are not going to change back. So we have a policy that only affects poor women, and it can never be otherwise.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
We will never see a day when women of means are not able to get a safe abortion in this country.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My law school class in the late 1950s numbered over 500. That class included less than 10 women.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Collegiality is crucial to the success of our mission. We could not do the job the Constitution assigns to us if we didn't - to use one of Justice Antonin Scalia's favorite expressions - 'Get over it!'
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
It's a facet of the gay rights movement that people don't think about enough. Why suddenly marriage equality? Because it wasn't until 1981 that the court struck down Louisiana's 'head and master rule,' that the husband was head and master of the house.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I was part of Jazzercise class. It was an aerobics routine accompanied by loud music, sounding quite awful to me. Jazzercise was popular in the '80s and '90s.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Justice Scalia and I served together on the D.C. Circuit. So his votes are not surprising to me. What I like about him is that he's very funny and very smart.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
So that's the dissenter's hope: that they are writing not for today but for tomorrow.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you just needed the skills to pass the bar, two years would be enough. But if you think of law as a learned profession, then a third year is an opportunity for, on the one hand, public service and practice experience, but on the other, also to take courses that round out the law that you didn't have time to do.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
If you're going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
I think daughters can change the perception of their fathers.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
You can't have it all, all at once. Who - man or woman - has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.
