Women's History Month: United States v. Virginia
Ruth Bader Ginsburg in her office, 1977.
The Virginia Military Institute was among the last public institutions to be desegregated on the basis of sex. It took an order of the U.S. Supreme Court in U.S. v. Virginia in 1996.
The opinion was crafted by Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who had earlier also argued many of the pivotal sex discrimination cases in the 1970s when she was a lawyer for the ACLU's women's rights project.
