Ginsburg's Work on Gender Discrimination

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg significantly advanced gender equality through her legal work and decisions. She argued that laws treating men and women differently often unjustly limited women’s opportunities, and she fought to eliminate gender-based discrimination. Her pioneering efforts led to landmark Supreme Court rulings that recognized discrimination based on sex as unconstitutional. Her work emphasized that gender stereotypes and biases harm everyone and that laws should promote equal rights, ensuring women have the same legal protections and opportunities as men. Ginsburg’s legacy is a foundation for ongoing efforts to achieve gender equity under the law.
