Ruth Bader Ginsburg Forever Stamps, 2023 Sheet – Cards, Letters and Stamp Collecting

The stamp art is an oil painting of Ginsburg showing her facing the viewer in her black judicial robe and an intricate white collar.

In 1956, after graduating from Cornell University, Ginsburg studied at Harvard Law School, where she was one of only nine women in her class. Despite encountering blatant sexism, she landed a prestigious position with the Harvard Law Review. She completed her legal education at Columbia University in 1959. Her search for a job began with difficulty, as big law firms at the time were disinclined to hire a Jewish woman with a child, but a federal judge was persuaded to offer her a clerkship.

Ginsburg’s multifaceted legacy includes the legal and social changes she helped to bring about; the example she set of tenacity and perseverance in the service of meaningful work; the inspiring passion that she brought to her dissents; and the countless people, young and old, men and women, who view her as a role model for their own lives.
