Instead of amending the rule, they decided to fight.

And the government, under the direction of Dean Griswold, now at the Justice Department, made three very big mistakes. It was probably just an oversight the writers of the tax code failed to consider that an unmarried male might have the care of an elderly parent. She sees that the best way to overturn laws that disadvantage women is to take on one that disadvantages men. The tax law would not allow a deduction for the expenses of an unmarried male caregiver, only a female. This is not one of the times she is patient, telling him, “I wanted to be the one fighting for change!”Īnd then, he finds a case-a tax case-that gives her that opportunity. “You’ll teach the next generation how to fight for change,” the ever-optimistic Martin tells her. She put aside her dreams of advocacy and taught law students instead. And so, she graduated from Columbia, first in her class. She met with Dean Griswold to ask if he would allow her the same opportunity he had given male students to finish her last year elsewhere and still get a Harvard degree, making what in my law school days we would call a model argument based on precedent, logic, and the Socratic method. Ruth attended all of his classes as well as her own and helped him to complete his coursework. They were still in law school and the parents of a toddler when Martin Ginsburg became ill with cancer. Wisely, this film focuses on just two key elements: her wonderfully supportive marriage to the late tax attorney, Martin Ginsburg ( Armie Hammer) and the one case they argued together, a landmark in outlawing discrimination “on the basis of sex.” “ RBG,” the well-crafted documentary released earlier this year, capably covers Justice Ginsburg’s life from schoolgirl to the Supreme Court. And she would have two more run-ins with Dean Griswold, each less patient than the one before. Board of Education was to the rights of racial minorities. Before she was known for her feisty dissents, power work-outs, and “Gins-burns” portrayal on 'Saturday Night Live' by Kate McKinnon, Ruth Bader Ginsburg was the pioneer litigator who argued cases that were as important to women’s rights as Brown v. What it does tell us is that she would be understanding, at least some of the time, but never really patient. Was she saying that because she thought that was what he wanted to hear? This movie, written with great affection by Justice Ginsburg’s nephew, Daniel Stiepleman, does not tell us.
