The most looked-up-to person in Washington stood at just 5-foot-1. |
Supreme Court Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a legal pioneer for gender equality who became the second woman ever to serve on the nation's highest court, died Friday at age 87 due to complications from pancreatic cancer. |
Ginsburg leaves behind an enormous influence on the law as the nation's preeminent litigator for women's rights, a federal appeals court judge, a Supreme Court justice for 27 years and, most recently, as the leader of the high court's liberal bloc. |
In today's Short List, we look back at Ginsburg's life, full of glass-ceiling-shattering accomplishments, impassioned dissents and pop culture dominance. |
