New York — Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg fought tirelessly to make equality under the law her life’s work.

She was the second woman ever appointed to the bench and left a legacy fighting against gender discrimination.

Her death on Sept. 18, 2020, less than seven weeks before Election Day, has set the stage for a political fight over the future of the Supreme Court.

These are just some of the many incredible steps in her 87-year journey.
