Ruth Bader Ginsburg was nominated as the Associate Justice of the Supreme Court in June 1993 by President Bill Clinton. Ginsburg replaced the retiring Justice Byron White. She was the second female justice and the longest-serving Jewish Justice of the US Supreme Court. The sudden death of the feminist icon left several people in shock.
Justice Ginsburg believed that women belonged to places where decisions are made and was a women's rights advocate. Speaking about abortion rights she once said that 'the government has no business making that choice for a woman' during an interview with the New York Times. Ginsburg strongly opposed gender-based discrimination and her decisions reflected her opinion. She was the 4th oldest Justice to serve the United States Supreme Court.
