She died Friday evening surrounded by her family at her home in Washington. ⁠ ⁠ The justice dictated a statement to her granddaughter in the days before her death, NPR reported. Ginsburg said: “My most fervent wish is that I will not be replaced until a new president is installed.”⁠ ⁠ Ginsburg, who was once passed over for a clerkship on the Supreme Court because of her gender, was the second woman to sit on the nation’s highest court after Sandra Day O’Connor, and the first Jewish woman to do so. President Bill Clinton nominated her to the Supreme Court in 1993 after she had served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit since 1980. From 2006 until 2009, she was the only woman on the Supreme Court.⁠ ⁠ Even though she was small in stature, her toughness and hard workout routine, combined with her fierce rhetoric, earned her the nickname “Notorious R.B.G.” ― something in which she seemed to take great pleasure.⁠ ⁠ Ginsburg’s husband of 56 years, Martin, died in 2010. She is survived by two children, four grandchildren, two step-grandchildren and one great-grandchild. // 📷 Getty Images」9月19日 9時01分
