Ruth Bader Ginsberg (born Joan Ruth Bader), was an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1993 until her death in 2020. Nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton, she was the 2nd woman on the Supreme Court and was considered a Liberal. From 2006 through 2009, RBG was the only woman serving on the Court. As a young woman, she earned a bachelor's degree at Cornell University. After marrying and becoming a mother, she became one of only a few women attending Harvard Law School. She had to transfer to Columbia Law School when her husband took a job in New York, City where she graduated tied for first in her class. At the time when RBG graduated from law school there was extreme discrimination against women, making it difficult for her to find a clerkship. She finally served a 2 year clerkship for Judge Edmund L. Palmieri of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York - after some pressure on Judge Palmieri from one of her law school professors. She went on to become a professor at Rutgers Law School and Columbia Law School, become an advocate for gender equality and women's rights (arguing before the Supreme Court multiple times - and winning), and serve on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit until her appointment to the Supreme Court.

Hine born in 1868. He married Sarah Ann Rich (1874-1939) and they had one son Corydon Lewis Hine (1912-1988). Lewis was a popular American photographer best remembered for the photographs he took documenting child labor. He took a series of photos in 1910 documenting child workers in an attempt to change child labor laws. He was trying to change the poor conditions of these children by making them visible to everyone. His Child labor photographs, many of which can be found on AncientFaces, were instrumental in bringing about the passage of the first child labor laws in the United States.
