Shoulder Of A Giant

"Neither federal nor state government acts compatibly with equal protection when a law or official policy denies to women, simply because they are women, full citizenship stature—equal opportunity to aspire, achieve, participate in and contribute to society based on their individual talents and capacities."

Ginsburg, J., majority
United States v. Virginia, 518 U.S. 515 (1996)
June 26, 1996
