Tributes to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg are pouring in after the feminist luminary died at age 87 on Sept. 18 as a result of her battle with metastatic pancreatic cancer. A pioneer in the fight for women's rights and gender equality, Ruth served on the Supreme Court for 27 years after she was appointed by then-President Bill Clinton in 1993. She was only the second woman to serve on the Supreme Court.
"Our Nation has lost a jurist of historic stature," Chief Justice John Roberts said in a statement released by the court. "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." Celebrities and political figures, including Barack Obama, Elizabeth Warren, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Meghan Markle, and Yara Shahidi, have taken to social media to honor Ruth's impactful legacy.
