RBG was a powerhouse who spoke in slow measured style so no-one could misconstrue her stance. She was a champion for women who put to rest the June Cleaver fantasy that women are defined by marriage and motherhood. I fear a sharp right turn is on the horizon.

You would probably enjoy the RBG movie biography On the Basis of Sex (2018):

Fearless Girl statue in NYC dressed in lace collar to honor Ruth Bader Ginsburg

The Fearless Girl statue was erected in the Financial District on International Women's Day in 2017, appearing to stare down the Charging Bull statue. It eventually moved to stand outside the New York Stock Exchange.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo on Saturday announced that the state would erect a statue of Ginsburg in her birthplace of Brooklyn to “honor the life and legacy” of the justice.
