Our theme for the month of March is important women in recent history. We're off to a good start, with Ruth Bader-Ginsberg. She was the second female judge elected to the U.S. Supreme Court. Very important and special!
As a child, Ruth lived with her parents in a poor immigrant neighborhood in New York. Her mother encouraged Ruth to do her best in school and to learn a lot. Ruth excelled in several subjects and went to university on a scholarship when she was 17 years old. She studied law, but she couldn't find a job because at that time most lawyers were still men.
Ruth did not give up and eventually she found a job as a teacher at a university. She also volunteered as a lawyer for an organization that campaigned for women's emancipation and equal rights and she would fight for that for the rest of her life.
That fight earned her the nickname The Notorious RBG (The Infamous Ruth Bader-Ginsburg), from younger generations of women who still didn't have equal rights. Ruth was someone to watch out for because she fought like a lioness!
It's great that there are already I look up to books for the youngest mini-monsters about important women in world history. It's a lot of fun to read these books with them!
