Instead of opting for a classic superhero, one extraordinary eight-year-old girl chose to honor a true champion for justice on her school’s Superhero Day. She donned a striking outfit inspired by the second woman to serve on the United States Supreme Court — the one and only, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, affectionately known as The Notorious RBG.
Little Emma Thompson, a devoted admirer of Justice Ginsburg, decided to pay tribute to her idol with a costume that has everyone buzzing online. Just look at that fierce expression! Emma perfectly embodies the spirit of RBG with her stylish ensemble, complete with Ginsburg’s iconic glasses and hairstyle. She’s even holding a copy of the children’s book “I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark.” Emma’s mom, Sarah, shared the delightful photo on social media and wrote, “It’s superhero day at school. Emma has been devouring ‘I Dissent’ and felt inspired to dress as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who stands up against prejudice and injustice.”
Absolutely! We should all consider introducing our kids (both daughters and sons) to this inspiring narrative. Ginsburg, who dedicated 23 years to the Supreme Court, is renowned for her advocacy for women’s rights, and Sarah noted that this was a key reason Emma wanted to emulate her. “The book discusses the challenges Ruth faced growing up and how she dedicated her life to fighting inequality. Emma is passionate about fairness, especially regarding girls and women, so the story resonated with her.”
While Emma’s classmates may not have immediately recognized her costume, they were supportive, and we can only hope her outfit sparked curiosity about such an influential figure. Excitingly, Ginsburg’s assistant reached out to Sarah shortly after the post gained traction, expressing that Justice Ginsburg would like to send Emma a handwritten note. Knowing how much Ginsburg inspires her, this gesture will surely be thrilling for Emma!
Sarah concluded her post with a powerful message: “Girls who read really are dangerous to unfairness and outdated inequalities.” Absolutely true! The world will need well-informed young women who understand justice now more than ever.
