The Supreme Court
Ginsburg tells us about her first Supreme Court case, and how nervous she was for it. Various imagery is used to set the scene, such as a view of the Supreme Court and how grand and intimidating it looks. The building itself is described as being "very intense and austere and important, and very male." In addition to this, Ruth herself is described as seeming very nervous: "her eyes were wide with anticipation."
Opera
Ginsburg's love for opera is something that is mentioned in the documentary. Her passion is described, using imagery, as being "a place of tranquility that is outside of the demands of her job." As such, the opera is depicted as a place of escape for Ginsburg, from her otherwise busy and highly-demanding professional life. Ruth describes that "when I am at an opera I get totally carried away. I don't think about the case that's coming up next week or the brief that I'm in the middle of." She also says that she is moved by the "beauty of the music, the drama. And the sound of the human voice, it's like an electric current going through me."
The High Court bench
Ginsburg describes how she would like to see women on the High Court bench. She says that "women not shaped from the same mold, but of different complexions." Here, she is using imagery to describe how she would like more diversity in the Supreme Court. This includes people of different genders, but also people of different experiences and backgrounds, which is important in creating an equal and fair court.
