In a delightful twist on the traditional Superhero Day at school, one young girl opted for an inspiring choice that resonates deeply with the feminist movement. Instead of the typical comic book character, she decided to honor a real-life champion for women’s rights — Ruth Bader Ginsburg, famously known as the Notorious RBG.
Meet Emily Collins
Meet eight-year-old Emily Collins, a devoted admirer of Justice Ginsburg. Emily paid homage to her favorite role model by donning an impeccable Ginsburg-inspired ensemble that has sparked admiration across the internet. With Ginsburg’s iconic glasses and hairstyle, Emily truly embodies the fierce spirit of the late Supreme Court Justice. She even carried a copy of “I Dissent: Ruth Bader Ginsburg Makes Her Mark,” a children’s book that highlights Ginsburg’s groundbreaking contributions to equality.
Emily’s mother, Sarah, shared this heartwarming moment on social media, expressing her pride in her daughter’s choice. She wrote, “It’s Superhero Day at school, and Emily has been captivated by ‘I Dissent.’ She wanted to dress as Ruth Bader Ginsburg because she stands against prejudice and fights for justice.”
The Impact of Role Models
Absolutely! Every child should have a hero like Ginsburg to look up to. With over two decades on the Supreme Court, Ginsburg dedicated her life to championing women’s rights and equality. Sarah noted that Emily was particularly moved by the book’s depiction of the challenges Ginsburg faced as a young girl, which fueled her passion for fairness, especially concerning girls and women.
While some of Emily’s classmates may not have recognized her costume at first, it’s great to hear that she was not teased. Who knows? Perhaps her outfit piqued their curiosity about such an extraordinary figure.
A Special Surprise
In a delightful turn of events, Ginsburg’s assistant reached out to Sarah shortly after the post gained traction, requesting their address so that Justice Ginsburg could send Emily a personalized note. Just imagine the excitement when she receives a handwritten message from her hero!
Sarah concluded her post with a powerful statement: “Girls who read truly are dangerous — to unfairness and outdated inequalities.” Indeed, as we look to the future, well-informed young women who champion fairness will be more vital than ever.
