Ruth Bader Ginsburg:
Little Ruth’s mum taught her to be a lady – which meant to be her own independent self. Ruth promised herself she would do everything her mother didn’t get the chance to do. And she excelled: at university, as a law professor, and later on the supreme court fighting gender discrimination.
