Be a lady, be independent.

Be a lady, be independent. When she was a child, Ginsburg's mother told her that as a woman, you must have the tenderness of a woman and an independent personality. If you are lucky enough to meet your Prince Charming in your life , and don't forget that you are an individual. Ginsburg did, getting a good education, wasting no time while studying at Harvard Law School, studying hard, and taking care of the kids and ailing husband, and it's been a strong will.

Her ideal in life can be said to be committed to equality between men and women, which is why she has a deep passion for the law, because she has her ideal in life and works hard for it.

The love between Ginsburg and Martin is very touching. What touched me the most was that Martin was the only one who fell in love with Ginsburg because of her intelligence, not because of the stereotypes about women such as appearance and virtuousness. Before Martin died, he wrote a letter to Ginsburg, in which he said, "You are the only woman I have ever loved in my life, and I have loved you for 53 years." He felt inferior because of his intelligence, but he admired his wife more and more and encouraged her to forge ahead. At the same time, he was her most reliable backing. When his wife was so busy with work that she forgot to eat, she called and even took her home. This kind of love is so beautiful and precious.

After reading it, the biggest impressions are:

1. Women should receive a good education, have a career to fight for, and work hard to move forward.

2. Women should be independent, not dependent on men. Your excellence, intelligence and independence are the source of your sense of security. Naturally, the charm you exude will also attract others.

3. Women should be gentle and firm, not sullen, reasonable, not complaining, and forge ahead.

(ps: Ajan and Ginsberg seem to be)
