For most of American history, the people making the biggest decisions looked overwhelmingly like men.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg knew exactly what it felt like to enter those rooms as the exception.

When she arrived at Harvard Law School in 1956, women made up only a tiny fraction of the class.

After graduating at the top of her class from Columbia Law School, she struggled to find a judicial clerkship because she was a woman.

Those barriers eventually became central to her life's work.

Before joining the Supreme Court, Ginsburg became one of America's most influential legal advocates for s*x equality. She helped found the ACLU Women's Rights Project and argued landmark gender-discrimination cases before the Supreme Court.

Then, in 1993, she became only the second woman ever appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court.

But being the second didn't satisfy her.

In 2009, Ginsburg was again the Court's only woman after Justice Sandra Day O'Connor's retirement.

Asked about women's representation on the Court, she responded:

“Women belong in all places where decisions are being made.”

Then she added:

“It shouldn't be that women are the exception.”

Her point wasn't that every institution needed an identical gender split.

In that same interview, she explicitly said she wasn't demanding a 50-50 division.

She was challenging something more fundamental.

Why should seeing women in positions of enormous authority still feel unusual?

For generations, nine men could sit on America's highest court without their gender becoming the story.

Ginsburg wanted women occupying positions of power to become just as ordinary.

The line eventually became one of the quotations most closely associated with her. After her death in 2020, it even appeared on memorial protest art collected by the Library of Congress.

Ginsburg spent much of her career entering rooms where women had once been excluded.

Her demand was that the women coming after her shouldn't have to be treated as exceptions once they got inside.
