What are the landmark cases Ruth Bader Ginsburg is part of?

Answer 1

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was involved in several landmark cases that advanced gender equality and civil rights. Notably, in United States v. Virginia (1996), she successfully argued against the Virginia Military Institute's male-only admissions policy, emphasizing the importance of gender equality. In Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co. (2007), although the Supreme Court's decision was not in her favor, Ginsburg's dissent highlighted the challenges of wage discrimination, leading to the passage of the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act in 2009. Her work in cases like Reed v. Reed (1971) also helped establish the precedent for gender discrimination claims under the Equal Protection Clause.
