how has she had the biggest impact do you think? what do you think will be her most lasting legacy perhaps. i think two things. when she was a litigator she came up with the theory for sex equality that changed american law and made judges sit up and pay attention and think about what it meant when a woman could be fired for being pregnant, or had to have her husband co-sign a loan. those inequities ginsburg was incredibly skillful at getting in front of courts in a way male judges paid attention to sorry. go ahead, please. as a justice, she has really stood up for equal rights for all kinds of people. so for example, in a case about voting rights, mostly affecting african-americans and hispanics she has a strong dissent talking about the history of race discrimination in the country. i think that s another thing we will remember her for.
