Historien om Ruth Bader Ginsberg, som kæmper for lige rettigheder for mænd og kvinder og hvad hun måtte overkomme for at blive USA's første kvindelige højesteretsdommer.
I en alder af 84 har den amerikanske højesteretsdommer Ruth Bader Ginsburg oparbejdet en imponerende juridisk arv, samtidig med at hun er blevet et uventet popkulturikon.
