by Mark Weakland illustrated by Daniela Volpari
Ruth Bader Ginsburg placed her left hand on the Bible. Next, she raised
her right hand. She swore to uphold the law. Then she smiled.
The audience, including the President of the United States, applauded.
She was now a of the United States Supreme Court.
Ruth was the first female Jewish American to sit on the court. She was
also only the second woman to do so. She got there through study and
hard work. And she knew that girls would follow in her footsteps.
One day there will be as many women as men sitting
as judges in our country, she said.
Joan Ruth Bader was born on March 15, 1933. Her parents, Nathan and
Celia Bader, were Jewish from Russia. They had little money.
The family rented the first floor of a small house in New York City.
Baby Joan had one sister, Marilyn. Marilyn loved little Ruth. She tickled
her belly. She made her yell and kick. Youre such a kicky baby, she said.
Were going to call you Kiki.
Later, Joan would go by her middle name. There were several other
Joans in her kindergarten class but no other Ruths.
Sadly, Marilyn and Ruth did not have much time together.
Marilyn died when Ruth was months old.
The death of her daughter broke Celia Baders heart. But she
never stopped thinking about Ruths future. She swore that
Ruth would have a life different from hers.
Celia had not gone to college. Her parents could only
to send one child to college. They had sent her brother.
Celia wanted Ruth to do well in school so she could grow into an
adult. She did not want Ruth to grow up to rely on a man.
What did Ruth want? She wanted to make her mother happy.
She worked hard to always get good grades.
Ruth was left- handed. A teacher tried to make her write with
her other hand. But writing with her right hand was unnatural, so
Ruth got a D in penmanship.
Im never writing with my right hand again! she said.
Do you know what happened? Ruth never did. And she never
got another D in school.
Ruths parents worked hard. They wanted to give their daughter a bright future.
Nathan sold furs and hats. Celia stayed at home to care for Ruth. She was careful
with their funds. Any extra money was saved for Ruths college education.
Ruth went shopping with her mother every day. While they ran ,
Celia gave her advice. She encouraged Ruth to think clearly. She told her to be true to
herself. These talks made an impression on Ruth.
I love you, mama, she said. Youre the bravest and strongest person I know.
Ruths mother was a wonderful role model. But Ruth also often
found strong female role models in the books she read. Ruth loved
to read about Amelia Earhart. A real- life pilot, Amelia was
the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean.
Nancy Drew was another favorite. Nancy was a detective who solved mysteries.
Kiki, why do you love Nancy so much? asked her mother. She isnt even real.
Nancy was an adventurer, who could think for herself, Ruth answered.
Ruth loved storytelling too. She entertained her cousins with she
made up. She also read poetry out loud. One of her favorites was The
Jabberwocky, by Lewis Carroll. Another was the poem written on the base
of the Statue of Liberty. Ruth knew all the words. Give me your tired, your
poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.
Ruth also liked the outdoors. All the kids in her Brooklyn
neighborhood played on the street. They ran, roller- skated,
and jumped rope. The fun lasted until dark.
Ruths best friend was a girl named Marilyn. She invited Ruth to
join her family for dinner. The food was often spaghetti and meatballs.
At Ruths house, the girls played jacks on the front steps.
Life in the city was not all fun and games. Ruth grew up when America
was at war. By 1944, air raid drills were just part of the school day.
When sirens , students took shelter.
Ruth and her classmates helped the war effort. They grew vegetables in
a victory garden to give out to people during the war. They also chewed
hundreds of sticks of gum. What did this have to do with helping? The
gum was wrapped in aluminum foil. Students rolled the silver wrappers
into balls. The balls were sent to a factory that made parts for airplanes.
In addition to helping the war effort, Ruth started to notice some things about her world.
