    Linda Hirshman: Talks at GS Session Highlights

    Linda Hirshman

    Linda Hirschman's book chronicles the strategic "affectionate alliance" between Justices Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, detailing how their collaboration secured the 14th Amendment's application to sex discrimination through cases like *United States v. Virginia*. A pivotal moment occurred in 1996 when O'Connor delegated the court's opinion in that landmark case to Ginsburg, who had previously led the litigation campaign to establish this legal precedent. Their partnership, characterized by distinct Republican and Democratic backgrounds but shared discipline, reshaped constitutional law by demonstrating that diverse judicial perspectives fundamentally alter legal reasoning and outcomes.
