“I ask no favor for my sex. All I ask of our brethren is that they take their feet off our necks.”
This quote is often credited to former US Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. She had said those phrases during the Supreme Court hearing in a 1973 case, but actually quoted the words of Sarah Moore Grimkéa 19th-century American abolitionist and women’s rights activist.
