Again. &#8211; By Dahlia Lithwick &#8211; Slate Magazine<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;Those who like to believe they have picked themselves up by the bootstraps sometimes forget that they wouldn&#8217;t even have boots were it not for the women who came before. Listening to Palin, it&#8217;s almost impossible to believe that, as recently as 50 years ago, a woman at Harvard Law School could be asked by Dean Erwin Griswold to justify taking a spot that belonged to a man. In Ginsburg&#8217;s lifetime, a woman could be denied a clerkship with Felix Frankfurter just because she was a woman. Only a few decades ago, Ginsburg had to hide her second pregnancy for fear of losing tenure. I don&#8217;t have an easy answer to the question of whether real feminists are about prominent lipsticky displays of &#8220;girl-power,&#8221; but I do know that Ginsburg&#8217;s lifetime dedication to achieving quiet, dignified equality made such displays possible.&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/law\">law<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/us\">us<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/gender\">gender<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/slate\">slate<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/delicious.com\/orzelc\/lithwick\">lithwick<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>slacktivist: The Clod and the Pebble and the politics of resentment &#8220;What happened was that 78 poor children whose fathers are incarcerated received free back-to-school supplies provided by three area churches.
