Before diving into today's complex headlines and the swirling debates of social media, let's take a HerStance back to the foundational principles of our government – guided by two women who defied the odds. This episode explores the remarkable journeys of Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the first and second women appointed to the Supreme Court.
Despite their wildly different backgrounds, both possessed an unyielding self-confidence, a profound belief in their own capabilities, and a fierce refusal to be deemed inferior by the men around them.
We'll trace O'Connor's steady, often subtle, path to incremental social change and Ginsburg's more expansive vision of the Constitution as a dynamic, living document of American inclusivity.
Discover how these "sisters in law," though diverging in their approach, were united in their pursuit of justice for women.
Join us as we uncover their inspiring legacies and encourage you to read the Constitution for yourself, gaining a crucial new perspective on how our government functions in a world they could never have envisioned.
