Description/mini report: In this film we can see the start of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's career in law. We see her taking her classes and also his husband's after he is diagnosed with cancer. After graduating, he is hired by a law firm but she isn't due to being a woman and ends up working as a law teacher. That's when his husband mentions a case about a man who cannot get a tax deduction for nursing care just because he is a man. Ruth sees an oportunity to show the gender assumptions that existed in the law so she takes the case and works on it until equality. This is how this film is connected to this SDG.
