Beginning with Reed v. Reed (1971)-for which Ginsburg wrote her first full Supreme Court brief, and which was the first time the Court held a sex-based classification to be unconstitutional-Ginsburg became known for her work on the issue of gender equality. For Ginsburg, this was not merely a matter of women's rights, because inequality harms men as well. Several of the cases she argued concerned gender equality for men, beginning with Moritz v. Commissioner of Internal Review (1972). Ginsburg established the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU in 1972 and also coedited the first law school casebook on sex discrimination as a professor at Columbia Law School. During the rest of the decade, until President Carter appointed her for the US Court of Appeals in 1980, she litigated cases that further developed gender equality jurisprudence on the basis of the Equal Protection Clause and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Beginnings -- The pedestal and the cage -- "All we ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks." -- A big win, a big loss, and a society in transition -- The kidnapper, the lieutenant, and the widower -- The court grapples with pregnancy -- Thirsty boys and uncertain justices -- "From no rights to half rights to confusing rights". 600 10 $a Ginsburg, Ruth Bader, $d 1933-2020 $x Influence. 650 0 $a Women's rights $z United States $x Cases. 650 0 $a Women judges $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women lawyers $z United States $v Biography. 830 0 $a Landmark law cases & American society. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231018011641.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=18598A1A803411ED944134D030ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
