At the age of 85, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has developed a breathtaking legal legacy while becoming an unexpected pop culture icon. But without a definitive Ginsburg biography, the unique personal journey of this diminutive, quiet warrior's rise to the nation's highest court has been largely unknown, even to some of her biggest fans – until now. RBG is a revelatory documentary exploring Ginsburg 's exceptional life and career from Betsy West and Julie Cohen, and co-produced by Storyville Films and CNN Films. I spoke with Betsy West and Julie Cohen, the directors of RBG, the double Oscar-nominated documentary of the life and victories of the judicial powerhouse. In our conversation we talk about the directing duos first meetings with RBG, her unique relationship with fellow Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia and what it could tell us about how we interact with each other today. RBG is currently available to rent or buy on DVD or streaming on Amazon. The 91st Oscars will take place on Sunday, February 24th, 2019 and air live on ABC.

If you have never heard of Ruth Bader Ginsburg (a.k.a. RBG), I am not sure what rock you have been living under these days. This vignette of #InVinoFab will give you a quick rundown of relevant resources and links to learn more about Justice Ginsburg's life and contributions she has made for society. Let's just say you: “Can't Spell Truth Without Ruth.”RBG's describes her understanding of feminism to be that we all must be “free to be you and me”(Carmon & Knizhnik, 2015, p. 91). Also, I can say that Ruth is one lady that does not give up and DOES THE WORK! After watching the RBG documentary and reading the Notorious RBG book, I am reminded that it takes time, patience, dedication, and strategy to move the needle for feminist issues. As Justice Bader Ginsburg says: “...one doesn't learn that lesson in a day. Generally, change in our society is incremental, I think.L Real change enduring change, happens one step at a time” (Carmon & Knizhnik, 2015, pp. 60). Additionally we discussed the power of supportive and equal life partnerships that change and challenge roles in the workplace, family, and society.  Here are few RBG & other things we chatted about in this short pod episode:--How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Became the “Notorious RBG” https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/how-ruth-bader-ginsburg-became-the-notorious-rbg-20151027--The Notorious RBG Tumblr Website: http://notoriousrbg.tumblr.com/ --Notorious RBG Book http://notoriousrbg.tumblr.com/book by Irin Carmon & Shana Knizhnik--5 things to know about the 'Notorious RBG' in honor of her 25th year on the Supreme Court https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/things-notorious-rbg-honor-25th-year-supreme-court/story?id=55903950--It was adorable to watch RBG see Kate McKinnon play her in an SNL skit, for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XhzSd-Kz-zA --Sheryl Sandberg Says Marry a Supportive Partner.
