Today's news about Justice Ginsburg's pancreatic cancer comes a few days after we watched the biopic: "On the Basis of Sex".
It was better than I anticipated, or at least I was more affected by its portrayal. Ginsburg was 3 years ahead of my sister at Cornell, and she was likely in the same class as a first cousin. So at least vicariously I knew something of the situation of women in those years, although as far as Cornell was concerned things were changing, at least for undergrads. (I had one female professor in 4 years there.)
