CAMBRIDGE, Mass. (AP) - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg says young women should fight for things they care about, but do so in a way that inspires others to join their cause.
The 82-year-old justice, speaking Friday at a luncheon at Harvard University's Radcliffe Institute, also recounted her work as a lawyer and judge on landmark cases involving women's rights.
She said she looks forward to seeing "Scalia/Ginsburg," a comedic opera based on her epic legal battles with conservative Justice Antonin Scalia. Ginsburg, the oldest justice on the high court, has enjoyed pop culture notoriety in recent years, with baby costumes and blogs in her honor.
Ginsburg received the Radcliffe Medal, which the institute awards annually to an individual who has had a "transformative impact" on society.
