Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the presiding Supreme Court justice on issues of women’s rights and gender equality, has died at the age of 87. Her passing comes at the end of a long battle with cancer, which had recently returned even though she, all the while, chose to remain on the Supreme Court bench. Ginsburg has served on the Supreme Court since August 1993, after then-President Bill Clinton nominated her in June of that year. She died of metastatic pancreatic cancer in her home in Washington, DC.
“Our nation has lost a jurist of historic stature,” Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. said in a statement (via The New York Times). “We at the Supreme Court have lost a cherished colleague. Today we mourn, but with confidence that future generations will remember Ruth Bader Ginsburg as we knew her — a tireless and resolute champion of justice.”
