Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has served on the United States Supreme Court since 1993, died at the age of 87.
Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a prominent women’s rights activist, passed away on September 18, 87, at her home in Washington, DC. According to the Associated Press, Ginsburg died of complications from pancreatic cancer.
According to Reuters, Ginzburg experienced health problems for a long time: in 1999, he suffered from colon cancer, in 2009 and 2019 – pancreatic cancer, in 2018 – lung cancer.
Chief Justice John Roberts, commenting on the death of a colleague, said the United States “has lost a historically significant attorney.” He expressed his confidence that “future generations will remember Ruth Ginsburg as we knew her, as a tireless and determined fighter for justice.”
The AP notes that Ginsburg was “the undisputed leader of the liberal wing of the Supreme Court and became something of a rock star to her fans.” The agency calls her “the architect of the movement for women’s rights.”
She was appointed a judge to the United States Supreme Court in 1993 by President Bill Clinton and became the second woman on the court.
