Ruth Bader Ginsburg: The Notorious

Description

Ruth Bader Ginsberg: The Notorious

Saturday 18 September marked Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year. It also marked the death of iconic Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg. In Judaism, those who die at this time of year are given the title ‘tzadik’, meaning saintly or righteous, but there are so many other ways Ruth could be described.

The 87-year-old lived a life defined by a steely tenacity and razor-sharp intellect, inspiring countless others to follow in her footsteps and fight for what was fair.

In this episode you’ll hear about Ruth’s hard-core exercise routine, the meaning behind her extensive collar collection, the magic of real and enduring love and just how this powerful advocate shaped America into what it is today.

Vale Ruth, you were one of the greatest.
