Image Statement: In my desire to make women’s issues visible, I use the text from Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s oral argument asserting that discrimination on the basis of sex violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution. The transparent bag, containing a small replica of RBG’s collar, joins the discussion of how sexism weighs on women.
