\"20150103_135911-1\"<\/a>Those of us who teach in gender and feminist studies have long been familiar with Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg; we regularly deal with her work as both a lawyer and as jurist. This past January, I had the honor of hearing her speak at a conference in Washington, D.C., and was awed by her. So over spring break, I decided to start reading a new book, The Legacy of Ruth Bader Ginsburg<\/a>, edited by Scott Dodson. I\u2019m not that far into the book yet, but what I\u2019ve read has only made me admire her more.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m far from being Justice Ginsburg\u2019s only admirer. She has quite the following, including this woman<\/a>, who had a portrait of Justice Ginsburg tattooed on her arm. One man<\/a> put her 35-page dissent in Burwell v. Hobby Lobby <\/em>to music. Another admirer dubbed her \u201cThe Notorious R.B.G.,\u201d a take-off on rapper The Notorious B.I.G, and there\u2019s a whole blog<\/a> devoted to all things R.B.G. Google \u201cNotorious R.B.G.\u201d to find t-shirts and other merchandise. It\u2019s a title the Justice herself seems to enjoy. (Listen to the video clip here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Ironically, while I was starting my book over spring break, Justice Ginsburg celebrated her 82nd birthday. She seems in no way ready<\/a> to step down from the court. After all, she reminds us, Justice John Paul Stevens served until he was 90. In honor of her birthday, one site<\/a> gathered some of her best quotes. My favorite: \u201cPeople ask me sometimes . . . When will there be enough women on the court? And my answer is: When there are nine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wouldn\u2019t have expected anything less from her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
