Ruth Ginsburg 10 Fast Facts, Biography, Wiki
While studying at ‘Cornell University’ in Ithaca, Ruth met her future husband Martin D. Ginsburg, when she was 17 years old. After dating for a few days, she married Ginsburg after her graduation from ‘Cornell University.’ Ruth and Martin Ginsburg were blessed with a daughter named Jane Ginsburg and a son named James Steven Ginsburg. After the birth of her daughter in 1955, Martin was diagnosed with testicular cancer and on June 27, 2010, he passed away due to complications from metastatic cancer. In 1999, Ruth Ginsburg was diagnosed with colon cancer, which made her physically weak because of radiation therapies and chemotherapy. In order to regain physical strength, she started working out at a gym with the help of a personal trainer. By the time she had turned 80, she could complete twenty full push-ups in a session. On February 5, 2009, she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer, for which she had to undergo a surgery. She was hospitalized at the ‘New York City hospital,’ from where she was discharged on February 13. In 2014, she experienced discomfort while working out, which prompted the doctors to place a stent in her right coronary. Despite her health issues, she continues to inspire many by keeping herself fit in order to serve as the judge of the Supreme Court. In one of her recent interviews, she had said that she is feeling good and that she has no plans of retiring anytime soon. A few days after Bader graduated from Cornell, she married Martin D. Ginsburg, who later became an internationally prominent tax attorney practicing at Weil, Gotshal & Manges. Upon her accession to the D.C. Circuit, the couple moved from New York City to Washington, D.C., where her husband became a professor of law at Georgetown University Law Center. Their daughter, Jane C. Ginsburg (b. 1955), is a professor at Columbia Law School. Their son, James Steven Ginsburg (b. 1965), is the founder and president of Cedille Records, a classical music recording company based in Chicago, Illinois. Ginsburg was a grandmother of four. After the birth of their daughter, Ginsburg’s husband was diagnosed with testicular cancer. During this period, Ginsburg attended class and took notes for both of them, typing her husband’s dictated papers and caring for their daughter and her sick husband. During this period, she also made the Harvard Law Review. They celebrated their 56th wedding anniversary on June 23, 2010. Martin Ginsburg died of complications from metastatic cancer on June 27, 2010. They spoke publicly of being in a shared earning/shared parenting marriage including in a speech Martin Ginsburg wrote and had intended to give before his death that Ruth Bader Ginsburg delivered posthumously. Ginsburg was a non-observant Jew, attributing this to gender inequality in Jewish prayer ritual and relating it to her mother’s death. However, she said she might have felt differently if she were younger, and she was pleased that Reform and Conservative Judaism were becoming more egalitarian in this regard. In March 2015, Ginsburg and Rabbi Lauren Holtzblatt released an essay titled “The Heroic and Visionary Women of Passover”, an essay highlighting the roles of five key women in the saga: The text states …” These women had a vision leading out of the darkness shrouding their world. They were women of action, prepared to defy authority to make their vision a reality bathed in the light of the day …” In addition, she decorated her chambers with an artist’s rendering of the Hebrew phrase from Deuteronomy, “Zedek, zedek, tirdof,” (“Justice, justice shall you pursue”) as a reminder of her heritage and professional responsibility. Ginsburg had a collection of lace jabots from around the world. She said in 2014 she had a particular jabot she wore when issuing her dissents (black with gold embroidery and faceted stones) as well as another she wore when issuing majority opinions (crocheted yellow and cream with crystals), which was a gift from her law clerks. Her favorite jabot (woven with white beads) was from Cape Town, South Africa. Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 15, 1933, at Beth Moses Hospital in Brooklyn, New York City, the second daughter of Celia (née Amster) and Nathan Bader, who lived in the Flatbush neighborhood. Her father was a Jewish emigrant from Odessa, Ukraine, at that time part of the Russian Empire, and her mother was born in New York to parents who came from Kraków, Poland, at that time part of Austria-Hungary.
