Ruth Bader Ginsburg
In 1993 Ruth Bader Ginsburg became the second woman in American history to serve on the United States Supreme Court. Ginsburg first received an appointment to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia from President Jimmy Carter in 1980, and kept the position for 13 years. President Bill Clinton then appointed her to the Supreme Court to fill the seat vacated by Byron White.
