Ruth Bader Ginsburg is a first-year Harvard Law School student in 1956. When her spouse, second-year student Martin Ginsburg, is diagnosed with testicular cancer. While caring for Martin and their young daughter Jane, she attends both her and his classes, taking notes and transcribing lectures. Martin’s cancer is in remission two years later, and he gets employed by a business in New York. Ruth begs Harvard Law School Dean Griswold to let her finish her Harvard law degree by taking classes at Columbia Law School in New York, but he refuses, citing Harvard University rules at the time, and she moves to Columbia. Despite graduating at the top of her class, she is unable to secure employment with a legal firm since none of the firms she approaches is interested in hiring a woman.
