I Dissent: Lipstick Justice (RBG)

My inspiration was Queen Anne of Austria (former Queen of France). With my feminist spin, I’ve transformed her persona into Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. During a talkback session following a 2018 performance of “The Originalist”, an Off-Broadway play at 59E59 Theaters in New York, she referred to herself as a “flaming feminist”. The play centered around her close friend and ideological opposite, the late Justice Antonin Scalia. During the theatrical outing, at 85 years old, she also joked about her then, newfound, mainstream fame (Notorious RBG) and expressed her intention to remain on the bench for at least another five more years. This declaration was part of her long history of speaking boldly and openly about her advocacy for gender equality and women’s rights, during her entire career as a lawyer and as a Supreme Court Justice. She was inducted in The National Women’s Hall of Fame in 2002.
