Ruth Bader Ginsburg; graduate of Columbia Law School, appointed to U.S. Court of Appeals in 1980 by President Carter, appointed to Supreme Court of the United States in 1993 by President Clinton, is a very notable women in every way. As the second women of the United State Supreme Court, and the oldest as of 2006 when Justice O'Connor retired, Justice Ginsburg helped pave a pathway for gender equality in the Supreme Court.

Since graduating from Columbia Law, Ginsburg has relentlessly fought for gender equality; fighting the gender discrimination she encountered trying to get a job after graduating in 1959, becoming the first female tenured professor at Columbia, and arguing for six landmark cases in the 1970's while director of the Women's Rights Project of the American Civil Liberties Union. While she fights for gender equality, she also does not misinterpret feminism and the fight for gender equality as women over men. As she fights for gender equality in the laws, she holds her stance of the law being gender-blind (biography.com)

Ginsburg, commonly dubbed Notorious RBG, has been praised by for years by many. RBG has been celebrated by shirts, tattoos, and biographies. Just these past few weeks, Ginsburg has been celebrated for her gender equality fight in a whole new way. In early June, a species of praying mantis was named after Ginsburg by researchers at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History and Case Western Reserve University. According to the museum, a new approach of using a female genital character system instead of a male orientated was used to identify the praying mantis.

The praying mantis, IIlomantis ginsburgae (ill-oh-mantis ginnz-BURG-ee), was named after Ginsburg for two reasons; Ginsburgs fight for gender equality as a new, and Ginsburgs signature jabots, a neck accessory she often wears. Why did they name an entire species after her because of a neck accessory? Upon observation of the mantis' anatomy, it was discovered the mantis has a jabot-like neck plate.

Sydney Brannoch, a female Biologist on the team, has high hopes that this new system will "underscores the need for scientists to investigate and equally consider both sexes in other scientific investigations" (nbcnews.com). While not all men and even women are for the feminist movement of the 21st century, going as far to say "ultimate form of gender dominance", there are plenty of men and women who have congratulated Notorious RBG through comments on Facebook, NBC, Huffingtonpost, and Buzzfeed.
