Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Ginsburg served as a United States Supreme Court Justice from 1993-2020. As the second woman to sit on the nation’s top court, she fought fiercely for gender equality and women’s rights throughout her career. RBG is a role model for many women and girls, inspiring them to make a difference in the world.
Quote from Ruth Bader Ginsburg
"Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you."
Marie Curie
Marie Curie made ground-breaking scientific discoveries and was the first woman to win a Nobel prize. She is also the only woman to have won the prize in two fields - physics and chemistry. She paved the way for future women in the field of science by challenging expectations and being constantly curious about new ideas.
Quote from Marie Curie:
Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.
Kamala Devi Harris
Kamala Devi Harris is an American politician and attorney serving as the 49th vice president of the United States. She is the United States' first female vice president, the highest-ranking female official in U.S. history, and the first African American and first Asian American vice president. She is born and raised in California and has focused on building her career for the people - breaking barriers and fighting for working families.
Quote from Kamala Harris
"What I want young women and girls to know is: You are powerful and your voice matters."
