LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN

March 31, 2024

HEATHER COX RICHARDSON

APR 01, 2024

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden issued an executive order instructing the National Park Service to “highlight important figures and chapters in women’s history.” “Women and girls of all backgrounds have shaped our country’s history, from the ongoing fight for justice and equality to cutting-edge scientific advancements and artistic achievements,” the announcement read. “Yet these contributions have often been overlooked. We must do more to recognize the role of women and girls in America’s story, including through the Federal Government’s recognition and interpretation of historic and cultural sites.”

In a time when American women are seeing their rights stripped away, it seems worthwhile on this last day of Women’s History Month to highlight the work of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who challenged the laws that barred women from jobs and denied them rights, eventually setting the country on a path to extend equal justice under law to women and LGBTQ Americans.

Ginsburg was born in Brooklyn, New York, on March 15, 1933, in an era when laws, as well as the customs they protected, treated women differently than men. Joan Ruth Bader, who went by her middle name, was the second daughter in a middle-class Jewish family. She went to public schools, where she excelled, and won a full scholarship to Cornell. There she met Martin Ginsburg, and they married after she graduated. “What made Marty so overwhelmingly attractive to me was that he cared that I had a brain,” she later explained. Relocating to Fort Sill, Oklahoma, for her husband’s army service, Ginsburg scored high on the civil service exam but could find work only as a typist. When she got pregnant with their daughter, Jane, she lost her job.

Two years later, the couple moved back east, where Marty had been admitted to Harvard Law School. Ginsburg was admitted the next year, one of 9 women in her class of more than 500 students; a dean asked her why she was “taking the place of a man.” She excelled, becoming the first woman on the prestigious Harvard Law Review. When her husband underwent surgery and radiation treatments for testicular cancer, she cared for him and their daughter while managing her studies and helping Marty with his. She rarely slept.

After he graduated, Martin Ginsburg got a job in New York, and Ginsburg transferred to Columbia Law School, where she graduated at the top of her class. But in 1959, law firms weren’t hiring women, and judges didn’t want them as clerks either—especially mothers, who might be distracted by their “familial obligations.” Finally, her mentor, law professor Gerald Gunther, got her a clerkship by threatening Judge Edmund Palmieri that if he did not take her, Gunther would never send him a clerk again.

After her clerkship and two years in Sweden, where laws about gender equality were far more advanced than in America, Ginsburg became one of America’s first female law professors. She worked first at Rutgers University—where she hid her pregnancy with her second child, James, until her contract was renewed—and then at Columbia Law School, where she was the first woman the school tenured.

At Rutgers she began her bid to level the legal playing field between men and women, extending equal protection under the law to include gender. Knowing she had to appeal to male judges, she often picked male plaintiffs to establish the principle of gender equality. 

In 1971 she wrote the brief for Sally Reed in the case of Reed vs. Reed, when the Supreme Court decided that an Idaho law specifying that “males must be preferred to females” in appointing administrators of estates was unconstitutional. Chief Justice Warren Burger, who had been appointed by Richard Nixon, wrote: “To give a mandatory preference to members of either sex over members of the other…is to make the very kind of arbitrary legislative choice forbidden by the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment” to the Constitution.

In 1972, Ginsburg won the case of Moritz v. Commissioner. She argued that a law preventing a bachelor, Charles Moritz, from claiming a tax deduction for the care of his aged mother because the deduction could be claimed only by women, or by widowed or divorced men, was discriminatory. The United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit agreed, citing Reed v. Reed when it decided that discrimination on the basis of sex violated the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution.

In that same year, Ginsburg founded the Women’s Rights Project at the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU). Between 1973 and 1976, she argued six gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court. She won five. The first time she appeared before the court, she quoted nineteenth-century abolitionist and women’s rights activist Sarah Grimké: “I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”

Nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993, she was confirmed by a vote of 96 to 3. Clinton called her “the Thurgood Marshall of gender-equality law.”

In her 27 years on the Supreme Court, Ginsburg championed equal rights both from the majority and in dissent (which she would mark by wearing a sequined collar), including her angry dissent in 2006 in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber when the plaintiff, Lilly Ledbetter, was denied decades of missing wages because the statute of limitations had already passed when she discovered she had been paid far less than the men with whom she worked. “The court does not comprehend or is indifferent to the insidious way in which women can be victims of pay discrimination,” Ginsburg wrote. Congress went on to change the law, and the first bill President Barack Obama signed was the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act.

In 2013, Ginsburg famously dissented from the majority in Shelby County v. Holder, the case that gutted the 1965 Voting Rights Act. The majority decided to remove the provision of the law that required states with histories of voter suppression to get federal approval before changing election laws, arguing that such preclearance was no longer necessary. Ginsburg wrote: “Throwing out preclearance when it has worked and is continuing to work to stop discriminatory changes is like throwing away your umbrella in a rainstorm because you are not getting wet.” As she predicted, after the decision, many states immediately began to restrict voting.

Ginsburg’s dissent made her a cultural icon. Admirers called her “The Notorious R.B.G.” after the rapper The Notorious B.I.G., wore clothing with her image on it, dressed as her for Halloween, and bought RBG dolls and coloring books. In 2018 the hit documentary "RBG" told the story of her life, and as she aged, she became a fitness influencer for her relentless strength-training regimen. She was also known for her plain speaking. When asked when there would be enough women on the Supreme Court, for example, she answered: “[W]hen there are nine.”

Ginsburg’s death on September 18, 2020, brought widespread mourning among those who saw her as a champion for equal rights for women, LGBTQ Americans, minorities, and those who believe the role of the government is to make sure that all Americans enjoy equal justice under law. Upon her passing, former secretary of state Hillary Clinton tweeted: “Justice Ginsburg paved the way for so many women, including me. There will never be another like her. Thank you RBG.”

Just eight days after Ginsburg’s death, then-president Donald Trump nominated extremist Amy Coney Barrett to take her seat on the court, and then–Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) rushed her confirmation hearings so the Senate could confirm her before the 2020 presidential election. It did so on October 26, 2020. Barrett was a key vote on the June 2022 Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization decision, the Supreme Court ruling that overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision recognizing the constitutional right to abortion.

Ginsburg often quoted Justice Louis Brandeis’s famous line, “The greatest menace to freedom is an inert people,” and she advised people to “fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.” 

Setting an example for how to advance the principle of equality, she told the directors of the documentary RBG that she wanted to be remembered “[j]ust as someone who did whatever she could, with whatever limited talent she had, to move society along in the direction I would like it to be for my children and grandchildren.”

the way that marty was so supportive and loved and admired ruth so much sends me into hysterics

[amberino02]

All I want is to find a husband like Marty Ginsburg. He loved Ruth Bader Ginsburg so much and respected her so much and supported her so much and knew that Ruth was smarter than he was and bragged about that to other people! He moved to Washington so she could do HER job in DC. He did the cooking and the cleaning whilst Ruth worked. Honestly, he was the best of men.

I want to be Ruth and find my Marty.

I really don’t think it’s too much to ask tbh...

To Ruth from Marty (Ginsburg)

6/17/10

My dearest Ruth—

You are the only person I have loved in my life, setting aside, a bit, parents and kids and their kids, and I have admired and loved you almost since the day we first met at Cornell some 56 years ago. What a treat it has been to watch you progress to the very top of the legal world!!

I will be in JH Medical Center until Friday, June 25, I believe, and between then and now I shall think hard on my remaining health and life, and whether on balance the time has come for me to tough it out or to take leave of life because the loss of quality now simply overwhelms. I hope you will support where I come out, but I understand you may not. I will not love you a jot less.

Marty

A man who believed at age 18, when we met, that a woman’s work, whether at home or on the job, is as important as a man’s." - Ruth Bader Ginsburg about her husband Marty during her Senate hearing for the Supreme Court, 1993

320 - You Cannot Procreate with AI on your iPad

In this episode of *In Touch with iOS*, hosted by Dave Ginsburg, we dive deep into the latest developments in the Apple ecosystem with a riveting group of panelists, including Chuck Joiner, Ben Roethig, Marty Jencius, and Jeff Gamet. The discussion kicks off with a comprehensive overview of recent iOS betas and their features, particularly iOS 18 and its upcoming enhancements. As we navigate through the various beta updates, we share our experiences, dissecting significant improvements like the new phone call recording capabilities and the refined Apple Maps with hiking routes. We then shift our focus to exciting new services, such as the recently launched Apple Podcasts on the web, exploring its features and potential impacts on the podcasting community. Our panelists weigh in on the accessibility of podcasts without needing an app, acknowledging the service's significance in expanding Apple’s reach within the audio content space. This naturally leads to a discussion on the implications of features like transcripts, emphasizing their importance for accessibility in podcasting. A thought-provoking conversation emerges surrounding Procreate's decision to refrain from integrating generative AI into its illustration app. Jeff offers a passionate defense of this stance, arguing that while AI can serve valuable roles as an assistant in the creative process, it should not overshadow human artistry. This leads us to touch upon industry trends with generative AI, paralleling its use in creative tools versus its potential to diminish originality. As we meander through the information superhighway, we also address the ongoing conversation about Apple’s services landscape, with iCloud being named the most popular among users. The discussion delves into the transformative effect of services like AppleCare and their adoption, exploring the psychological factors that drive users to invest in Apple’s safeguard for their devices. Towards the end of the episode, we collectively lament the sometimes convoluted and glitch-prone firmware update experiences for both AirPods and Beats devices. We identify the disparity between user experiences on iOS versus Android, articulating a call for Apple to streamline processes to make things less opaque for users who might not share our technical savvy. This episode serves as both an educational session and an engaging dialogue for anyone interested in Apple technology's latest trends, updates, and debates. The camaraderie among the panelists sets a lively tone as we unpack each topic, making for a rich listening experience for our audience. Tune in for a deep dive into the evolving landscape of Apple technology and user experiences!��

Everyone looks at him that way!😍😍😍😍

Film Review | On The Basis Of Sex (2018)

I don’t think there’s any arguing that Ruth Bader-Ginsburg is legendary. She’s done so much for women’s rights and protection under the law in the past 60 years of her career - it’s astonishing. I teared up during the film, and it only dug deep into one of her historic cases!

The film gets off to a rocky start, doing the legwork of introducing Ruth and her family - it seems strangely redundant (especially if you’ve seen RBG). But it finally gets to her first case that’ll go up in CO District Court and then it really shines. The film does a great job of using Ruth’s reactions to her own situation to parallel with her work pushing back against sex discrimination - Felicity Jones does an amazing job. Definitely worth your 2018 catch-up.
