milehiiu Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 The second woman to serve on the Supreme Court. Believe she served for 27 years. In old age, she put up a courageous battle against cancer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milehiiu Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020  It's historic. Certain individuals go down in history. Like Robert Fulton and so many others..... made a mark on American history. Ruth moved from a modest beginning to highest court in the nation. And did it on her own, as I learned tonight that Ruth's mother passed from cancer when Ruth was in high school. Cancer sucks. Thanks to IUFLA for starting this thread.

One tough lady. And I always admired her to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted September 19, 2020 Report Share Posted September 19, 2020 One of the strongest, smartest and courageous people our country has had for decades. PS....name to keep on an eye on is Judge Martha Pacold. She went to IU. She's young too....could be on the bench for 40+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you want to be a true professional, you will do something outside yourself… something that makes life a little better for people less fortunate than you." - The Mercury News, February 6, 2017  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t want to call a plumber. But when you do, well, it’s because you need a plumber... same with lawyers, lol. Never knew she used the same analogy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And who knows, she might go have a baby.  Plus, her husband has a good job.  It is amazing how recent this BS was.  The after shocks from that era aren’t over yet.  She has a legacy for things like equal rights and equal pay for women. That’s hardly controversial. It seems obvious today because of people like her but in the not so distant past it wasn’t.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
