“I am…a first-generation American on my father’s side, barely second generation on my mother’s,” Ginsburg said.
Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 15, 1933, in Brooklyn, New York, to Nathan and Celia Bader, a furrier and a garment factory worker, respectively, and grew up in a low-income, working-class neighborhood. She died on Friday of metastatic pancreatic cancer. A staunch defender of civil rights a giant who stood only around 5 feet tall in her lace collars, sparkling brooches, oversized spectacles, and beloved scrunchies, Ginsburg was the very best of us, a striver for the right reasons: liberty, equality, an ever-expanding and evolving idea of what America is and could be, and the promise of a better tomorrow than today. How do you sum up a life like Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s? Several filmmakers have tried-two in 2018 alone-to capture the depth and scope and cultural heft of the Supreme Court justice’s sway over American history and the public imagination.
