This article from a law review reproduces Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s address to the National Association of Women Judges and is inscribed by Ginsburg to either Suzanne Nossel or Elizabeth Westfall, who authored Presumed Equal: What America’s Top Women Lawyers Really Think About Their Firms, based on surveys sent to women attorneys in 1995. Ginsburg’s address highlights the contributions of three “way pavers” for women in the judiciary: Florence Ellinwood Allen (1884-1966), Burnita Shelton Matthews (1894-1988), and Shirley Mount Hufstedler (1925-2016).
