Explore the life and career of Ruth Bader Ginsburg at Manship Theatre June 1-2
Take a peek behind the curtain of Supreme Court Justice and pop-culture icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg‘s long and storied career at Manship Theatre’s upcoming screenings of the critically acclaimed biopic RBG.
The documentary follows Ginsburg’s career beginnings and her subsequent rise to the United States’ highest federal court.
In her position as a Supreme Court Justice, Ginsburg has garnered something of a cult following as an often-liberal voice of dissent and a longtime champion of gender equality. In a now-famous quote from the film, Gloria Steinem describes Ginsburg as a real-life “superhero.”
