Rental includes access to a virtual Q&A moderated by Sharon Waxman with director Freida Mock, National Women's Law Center co-founder Marcia Greenberger, and Kathleen Paretis, RBG’s successor as the head of the Women’s Rights Division of the American Civil Liberties Union; which will play after the film.


The improbable story of how Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who couldn’t get a job despite graduating first in her law school class in a tie and making Law Review at Harvard and Columbia Law Schools, became an Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.


The film also reveals both the public and private sides of a resilient, resourceful woman who has survived the hostility of the profoundly male universe of government and law to become a revered Justice and icon for gender equality and women’s rights. How did Ginsburg’s work as a litigator for the ACLU’s Women’s Rights Project; as a professor; and as an appellate judge make a difference? Most importantly how did her trailblazing work in the l970’s arguing landmark gender discrimination cases before the Supreme Court become a turning point for her and the everyday lives of men and women?
