Numa sala perto de mim #403

On the basis of sex (2018) shows how supreme court judge Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the most prominent gender discrimination lawyer in the 1970s. In a litigation world dominated by men, she fought to change laws that no one challenged because they upheld the tradition and norms in place throughout history. At a time when social change was already under way, Ginsburg was unconformed with legislation that did not reflect such change and prevented it from moving forward. Rather remarkable tenacity. On a side note, Felicity Jones has a knack for playing the role of wife of the sick man.
