“Women will only have true equality when men share with them the responsibility of bringing up the next generation.”
—Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was an Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. She was the second female appointee and a lifelong advocate for gender equality, equal rights and civil rights. Her entire life was devoted to women’s rights in an effort for them to be considered equal to men. Because of her many years of legal service particularly with regard to women, Justice Ginsburg appeared clearly to me as a true beacon of stability and hope. I made this painting as a tribute to her during perhaps the darkest and lowest point I have experienced politically.
