So said Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg during her Supreme Court nomination hearing in 1994, having already fought decades of gender discrimination in her education and career. The handful of cases she argued for the American Civil Liberties Union are now landmarks for gender equality, and Ginsburg herself made history as the second-ever woman to sit on the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ginsburg’s life is a testament to the tenacity, patience, and long-term commitment required to be a change-maker. As she said in 2001: “You know that these important issues are not going to go away. But then you go on to the next challenge and you give it your all.”
