Ruth Bader Ginsburg learned vital lessons from her mother, Celia, that profoundly shaped her legal career. Celia's belief in education and the importance of standing up for oneself instilled resilience in Ginsburg. She often recalled her mother’s emphasis on achieving equality and justice in life, which aligned with her legal pursuits. Additionally, Celia’s struggle with her own health issues taught Ginsburg about compassion and the value of hard work. These lessons guided Ginsburg as she broke barriers in law, advocating for women's rights and gender equality throughout her distinguished career.
