美國大法官 魯斯・金斯伯格 : 我沒有在討論女性的權利
魯斯·金斯伯格（Ruth Bader Ginsburg）作為美國女性平權運動的先驅，多次挑戰敏感議題，公開為女性權利、墮胎權和同性婚姻權發聲。她充滿爭議的行為，讓人們以「聲名狼藉的金斯伯格」（Notorious RBG）來稱呼她，並將原本帶有負面色彩的詞彙轉化為勇敢與堅毅的代名詞。
雖然魯斯·金斯伯格於2020年9月18日因胰腺癌辭世，但她留下的語錄和精神，將繼續指引我們在追求平權的道路上前行。
1.「有時候人們問我，在九位最高法院大法官中，要有幾位女性才足夠？我回答：九位。人們對這個答案表示驚訝，但當大法官由九位男性擔任時，卻沒人對此提出質疑。」
“When I'm sometimes asked 'when will there be enough [women judges on the US Supreme Court bench] and I say, 'When there are nine,' people are shocked. But there'd been nine men, and nobody's ever raised a question about that.”
2.「我沒有在討論女性的權利，我說的是男女公民平等的憲法原則。」
“I don't say women's rights—I say the constitutional principle of the equal citizenship stature of men and women.”
3.「若是世界充滿歧視與失衡，社會公理總是無可避免地傷害女性的地位。」
“The point is that the discriminatory line almost inevitably hurts women.”
4.「為你在乎的事而戰，但以他人能加入行列的方式實踐。」
“Fight for the things that you care about. But do it in a way that will lead others to join you.”
5.「我從還不懂女性主義這個詞時就開始忌妒男性了，因為比起烹飪或縫紉，我更喜歡購物。」
“I remember envying the boys long before I even knew the word feminism, because I liked shop better than cooking or sewing.”
6.「我丈夫是我約會過的男性中，唯一一個在乎我有腦的人。」
“Of all the boys I had dated, he was the only one who really cared that I had a brain.”
7.「有時當個聾子對婚姻有益。」
“In every good marriage, it helps sometimes to be a little deaf.”
