As September 18 marked the passage of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the bona fide champion of women’s rights, America quite viscerally felt the end of an era. “The Notorious RBG” blazed the hottest Supreme Court trail since Justice Sandra Day O’Connor and Justice Thurgood Marshall, served for 27 years, and very well may prove to be the most famous Supreme Court Justice in history. This week, she became the first woman and the first Jewish person to ever lie in state in the United States Capitol.
This article from Elle recalls Justice Ginsburg, when she was interviewed in 2014, and is a fitting memorial.
Justice Ginsburg leaves behind her two children, several grandchildren, and one great-grandchild. She was laid to rest yesterday, next to her husband, Martin Ginsburg.
The Mauve Report wishes her the most heartfelt and fondest of farewells.
