Ruth Bader Ginsburg
#HERstory
Big Dreams Bloom™ features Ruth Bader Ginsburg in our weekly virtual HERstory live classroom. Your little girl will truly be inspired by the accomplishments of this powerful female pioneer & leader.
Supreme Court Justice
Ruth Bader Ginsburg
“My mother told me to be a lady. And for her, that meant be your own person, be independent.”
Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the second female justice appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court. Ginsburg was born in 1933 and spent her early years in Brooklyn, New York. She taught at Rutgers University Law School and later became the first tenured female professor at Columbia University.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg served as the director of the Women’s Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union during the 1970s, and was appointed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia in 1980. She was appointed to the U.S. Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton. Ginsburg was a strong advocate for female equality throughout her life.
Learning from HERstory
Through popular children’s literature focused on HERstory, we’ll explore the lives of influential women, such as Roberta Menchu as well other powerful women, from artists to activists, explorers to engineers who followed their dreams and changed the world. Together, we’ll follow up with book club style discussions and complete science, art, and maker-style STEM projects as a learning extension. Program materials and discussions are age appropriate and controversy-free, focusing solely on the success stories and achievements of great women in history.
Big Dreams Bloom™ students participate in fun and engaging at-home activities that are relevant to each week’s HERstory lesson.
