“Dissents speak to a future age. It’s not simply to
say, ‘my colleagues are wrong and I would do it this way,’ but the
greatest dissents do become court opinions.” - from an interview on
Live with Bill Maher
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was born Joan Ruth Bader in 1933 in King’s
County, Brooklyn, New York.She is the Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court of the United States since her appointment by
President Bill Clinton in 1993. Ginsburg has built a judicial
reputation renowned for upholding gender equality, workers’ rights
and the separation of church and state. Ginsburg is the second-ever
female justice, she has read nineteen dissenting opinions from the
bench to date. In 2013, following her dissenting opinion in Shelby
County vs. Holder, a voting rights
case, two law students started the Tumblr meme Notorious RBG ,riffing
on the moniker of her fellow Brooklynite wordsmith, The Notorious
B.I.G. It stuck. Ruth’s mother died of cancer the day before her
high school graduation in 1950. She went to Cornell University where
she distinguished herself, and there met Martin D. Ginsburg, the
love of her life. They spent two years at Fort Sill, Oklahoma when
Marty was stationed in the Army, during which time their daughter
Jane was born. Marty’s active duty caused Ruth to defer her entrance
into Harvard Law School and Marty’s second year of study there.
During his final year/her second, Marty took ill with cancer. Thanks
to Ruth’s diligence in transcribing notes for his classes while
attending her own, Marty was able to finish his degree in 1958, and
was offered a job at a firm in New York City, where he became a top
tax law expert. Determined to stay together as a family, when
Harvard refused to award Ruth a degree with third year credits that
would be earned at Columbia, she formally transferred and earned her
degree from Columbia in 1959, tied for first in her class. No law
firm for which she interviewed would hire a her female, Jewish, and
a mother – but in 1963 she again distinguished herself by beginning
her career as a professor of law at Rutgers University, shortly
after which time son James was born. In 1972 she became the first
tenured female professor of law at Columbia University.
In 1971 Marty and Ruth argued their one and only case
together (Pro bono): exposing gender discrimination in the US tax
code, it opened the door to overturn hundreds of statutes that
discriminated on the basis of sex, creating a platform for Ginsburg
as an appellate advocate. In 1972, she co-founded the Women’s Rights
Project at the ACLU, and became the organization’s general counsel
in 1973. She argued six cases before the Supreme Court in the years
following, winning five of them. In 1980, President Jimmy Carter
appointed her to the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and
Marty left his job to follow her to Washington (where he became a
distinguished professor at Georgetown University).
In 2009 Forbes named RBG to The 100 Most Powerful Women
list. She’s survived colon cancer and pancreatic cancer and never
missed a day on the bench. She weight-trains twice weekly, and has
appeared on stage in supernumerary roles and in a cameo role as the
Duchess of Krankenthorp in Donizetti’s, La fille du Regiment at the
Washington National Opera.

PATRICE MICHAELS compose rsoprano - creator – creates lyrical
soundscapes with a curious ear and an exceptional artistic range
that allows her to make captivating music sometimes out of even the
most unexpected source material. A passion for both performance and
composing sets Michaels apart.
The breadth of Michaels’ talents are fully expressed in her latest
project, N otorious R BG in Song , a salute to Supreme Court Justice
Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Cedille Records) with pianist Kuang-Hao Huang.
Michaels channels her talents as composer and singer on the album,
distilling the Justice’s legal opinions, letters, and lectures with
deft sensitivity, creating “an engrossing, episodic portrait of the
legal thinker, wife, mother and feminist icon” (WQXR). The prismatic
album of world premieres has earned praise as “a remarkable tribute”
(AllMusic) delivered in “an attractive, post-modern tonal idiom”
(Classics Today). Michaels and Huang are applauded for their ability
to “wring stirring poetry out of even the most dense legalese” (WQXR).
The project has been so well received that it premieres as a
dramatic concert with chamber orchestra, narrative, and multi-media
elements performances at the Skirball Center (Los Angeles) and in
Washington, DC, produced by The Constitution Center of Philadelphia,
and in residency at Cleveland State University.
