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.
