Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died on Sept. 18 at the age of 87 after due to complications of metastatic pancreas cancer. There were many reasons to love and admire Ruth Bader Ginsburg — she was the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court; she had a storied career full of glass-ceiling shattering and barrier-breaking; and she liked to drink wine before the State of the Union address.
Over the last few years, the internet embraced Ginsberg, and showered her with memes depicting her brilliance and intellectual prowess. RBG's quotes on equal rights, reproductive rights and being a strong woman have become feminist rallying cries. And you can't overlook the characterization she is most known for, as the "Notorious RBG."
She was a fierce defender of the principles she holds to be true, but still maintained a close friendship with the justice she had probably had least in common with in terms of their legal interpretation approaches, Antonin Scalia. She's was a nuanced woman with the strength of someone half her age, and the memes dedicated to her show the mark she made on this and future generations of ambitious women.
