The RGB solution: Back yourself and know your worth.

In one scene Harvard Law School’s dean shockingly demands the female students introduce themselves and explain “why you’re occupying a place that could have gone to a man”.

The women stumble as they try answering over the dean’s interruptions – a problem equally prevalent in today’s society. A recent study revealed that women are more likely to be interrupted than men.

RBG is unafraid to call out anyone who tests her, informing the dean she’s at Harvard to learn more about Marty’s work, “so I can be a more patient and understanding wife”, which provokes ripples of laughter around the room.

Equally, her problematic ally Mel Wulf (Justin Theroux) repeatedly tries to make Bader Ginsburg hand her case over to a man, believing they would do a better job.

RBG refuses to back down; she knows she’s earnt her seat at the table and her sceptics would like to see her fail.

In the end does her hard work and determination pay off? As they say, the rest is history…
