In her closing argument, Ruth Bader Ginsburg (Felicity Jones) states the societal roles that have existed no longer apply and asks the court to keep up with the societal changes that have already taken place in the country. When a judge objects stating the constitution does not contain the word “woman”, she confidently replies with the most stunning response.
