Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a phenomenal inspiration to women and men everywhere. She is an example of exemplary work ethic, dedication, and determined resolve in everything she does from her academic endeavors, and professional aspirations, to advocating for rights and justice. Ruth was born in 1933 in Brooklyn, New York. She developed a love of learning due to the strong influence of her mother, which aided her in her academic career. Excelling in school, Ruth graduated with honors as well as being granted scholarship opportunities (Sirmans 3). She went on to attend and graduate from Cornell University with a degree in Government, and then continued on to Harvard Law School. Ruth transferred from Harvard to Columbia University where she obtained her law degree (Sirman 4). As a top student at both institutions Ginsburg was the “first person in history to make law review at more than one Ivy League school” (Sirmans 7). Upon graduating Ruth found it difficult to find employment as the era did not embrace women in a predominantly male profession. After meeting with much adversity, Ginsburg secured a position as a law clerk which allowed her to gain experience and propel her fledgling career
