In honor of Women’s History Month, we seize this perfect opportunity to celebrate the enduring legacy of one of the legal field's most influential and remarkable figures, Ruth Bader Ginsburg. As the first Jewish woman and the second woman to grace the Supreme Court bench, she has undeniably earned her moniker, "the notorious R.B.G."

The Jewish museum and photographer Elinor Carucci pay tribute to Justice Ginsburg through a captivating display of her iconic collars worn throughout her tenure on the Supreme Court. Justice Ginsburg adorned these collars not merely to introduce a much-needed "feminine touch" to the Court, but also to convey messages through her attire. While some choices may have been random, many were deliberate, symbolizing various facets of her identity, values, and positions on significant issues. For instance, her "majority collar" (bottom left on slide one) often accompanied her delivery of majority opinions, yet it also graced the occasion of the first gay wedding she officiated prior to the landmark Obergefell v. Hodges legalizing same-sex marriage.

Justice Ginsburg's legacy transcends the legal field; she stands as a beacon of inspiration for women everywhere. Don't miss the opportunity to experience this remarkable tribute at the Jewish Museum before it concludes on May 27th, 2024!

With its commitment to bringing contemporary art to all via public spaces, strolling through the High Line is a wonderful way to not only get our steps in but also to catch an array of ever-changing art installations. One of the newest additions along the High Line is a colorful, whimsical mural strategically painted on a building facing the High Line on 22nd Street stating “Thank You Darling” in bubble letters by Lily Van Der Stokker.

Ms. Van Der Stokker, who hails from the Netherlands, is known for using a confectioner’s pastel color scheme in her artwork to depict elements traditionally thought of as feminine such as clouds, flowers, and swirls as the backdrop to convey short messages like "Thank You Darling." Van Der Stokker’s work, which has been referred to as “feminist conceptual pop art,” is meant to be cheery but also aims to spark conversations regarding feminism and womanhood. "Thank You Darling" brings a moment of gratitude and joy to all who pass by it, serving as a delightful reminder to pause and take a moment of appreciation amidst the hustle and bustle of the busy city!
