Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg passed away at the age of 87 on Friday due to complications from metastatic pancreatic cancer.

Ginsburg was nominated to the Supreme Court by President Bill Clinton in 1993 and was the second woman to ever serve on the court after Sandra Day O’Connor. Her work for gender equality, such as launching the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Women’s Rights Project, and her sharp dissents earned her the nickname the ‘Notorious RBG’.
