Professor Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a successful lawyer in her own right, but her path to professional success was long, winding, and full of obstacles. In the early days of her education and career, many factors prevented women from becoming successful. For the longest time, women got overlooked in the legal world; for example, only one woman has worked in a federal appellate court since 1956.
