Honoring Justice Ginsburg. A true friend of AAUW.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Justice of the US Supreme Court, graciously accepted Jamestown Branch’s invitation to attend our AAUW Regional luncheon meeting held in the Chautauqua Institution Athenaeum Hotel on July 28, 2013. Standing next to her is our then President of AAUW Jamestown Branch, Maggie Irwin. That morning in the Amphitheater we all heard her deliver her unique lecture on the intersection of opera and the law. Her whole demeanor was filled with joy. It was such an honor to be in her presence. She was very complimentary of the work we do and supportive of our mission of breaking through barriers for women and girls. She faced many obstacles and barriers. Having the grit to figure out how to get around and over the obstacles and succeed is so inspiring. As the leading force in securing women’s rights, she is our hero.

“In my dreams, I can be a great diva,” Ginsburg told the Amphitheater’s capacity crowd that day which showed her sense of humor.

SHE WAS A TRUE DIVA!
