Q: Now that Judge Sotomayor has been nominated, how do you feel about that? JUSTICE GINSBURG: I feel great that I don’t have to be the lone woman around this place. Q: What has that been like? JUSTICE GINSBURG: It’s almost like being back in law school in 1956, when there were 9 of us in a class of over 500, so that meant most sections had just 2 women, and you felt that every eye was on you. Every time you went to answer a question, you were answering for your entire sex. It may not have been true, but certainly you felt that way. You were different and the object of curiosity. - Maria Niles
