. >> nawaz: ginsburg was one of just nine women in her entering class at harvard law school. it was 1956. the dean admonished the women fortaking spots that could have gone to men. despite that, she became the first woman to join the prestigious harvard law review and all the while cared for her young children and her husband recovering from cancer. ginsburg ended up transferring to columbia law school and graduated first in her class. many law firms still balked at hiring women, but she landed teaching jobs and eventually became columbia law school's first female tenured professor. during the 1970s, she worked with the american civil liberties union, arguing six landmark cases on gender equality before the u.s. supre court and winning five of them. >> sex, like race, has been made the basis for unjustified or at least unproved assumptions concerning an individual's potential to perform or to contribute to society. >> nawaz: in 1980, president carter named ginsburg to the u.s. court of appeals for the district of columbia. it was another milestone moment, as she told the news

the only two places he worked was harvard and stanford. we moved to silicon valley and that is where i grew up. david: you went to stanford undergrad? ruth: i did. david: did you major in finance? ruth: i majored in economics and international relations i thought i would be a lawyer like you. david: you were smart not to do that, but you did go toward an mba? ruth: yes. david: then you what to wall street? ruth: i went from stanford to the school of economics toward to wharton. course withcinating a great teacher and he opened my eyes to this thing called wall street, mergers, and acquisitions. i went convinced that i was doing my thing to being convinced i wanted to do mergers. david: when you went to morgan stanley was a percent women? ruth-- 50% women? ruth: far from it. foras sort of the stone age any sort of sense of what was the role of women in banking. i think the general attitude was that those of us who were there would get married, have kids, and leave. we did not have the stamina. i love morgan stanley. i think morgan stanley w

so at 20 years old, you are a student at harvard university. you are the star of your own television show. and you've launched your own company, and you have a deal at disney, an overall deal at disney now. how do you manage it all? >> with an incredible team of folks. i have the best support network. i mean, you know my whole family, and i think we operate very similarly, just always having our families involved in every step of the process. but i think fortunately i've been surrounded by people who encourage me to do it all. i remember thinking back to even first season of "blackish". i was telling this story the other day. i remember welcomed i felt in the "black-ish" producer sections with you. it was one of the only audition sessions i walked out and was, i don't care if i don't get this because i had the best time. i was so happy with the experience itself. what it spoke to was my first days on set, everyone supporting how to figure out the balance of my education and this show and every other passion i've had has always been encouraged b

. >> harvard was the socratic method. so the professor would ask a question, and then you would be called on to answer. the way it worked with women is they didn't call on us. i think they were afraid we would sort of wither if they were subjected to that line of questioning. >> when i was sent to check a periodical in lamont library in the old periodical room, there was a man at the door, and he said, you can't come in. why can't i come? because you're a female. there was nothing i could say. this was a university employee that said, you can't come into that room. when i get to harvard law school and i'm really intimidated that first year, marty is saying, oh, my wife, she is going to be on the law review. there was a woman in the class ahead of mine. she said, this husband of yours is boasting that you're going to be on the law review. you look like a little twerp. >> to make the law review in those days, you had to be in the top 25 academically of 535, 540. her second year, she makes the law review. so the mere fact ma

harvard law school had nine women, there were two teaching buildings at that time. only one of them had a women's bathroom. , but ifu are in class you're taking a three or four hour exam, you had to make a mad -- to the building. but we never complained. it was just the way things were. 60's, the feminist movement had revived in the united states, in part as a result of the civil rights movement, but also as part of a worldwide movement, the u.n. had declared in connection with women's year, things were changing all over. possible to break down what is referred to as the separate spheres mentality, that is the woman's place was with the family, taking care of the home, and the man's place was outside. he was the representative of the family outside. of our laws were designed to fit that model of the stay-at-home woman and the work the day man. so in the decade of the 70's, almost all of the laws of that kind were like that. dean shaw: would you like to talk about one or two cases that are important? justice ginsburg: the first was the turning point case. if you go b

so for example, harvard law school, we had nine women. there were two teaching buildings at that time. only one of them had a woman's bathroom. you can imagine if you were in class is one thing, much worse is taking a three or four hour exam and having to make a mad dash to the other building. but the thing of it was, we never complained. that's just the way things were. but by the late 60's, the feminist movement had revived in the united states, in part as a result of the civil rights movement. but also as part of a worldwide movement. the u.n. had declared international women's year. things were changing all over. so it became possible to break referred to as the cesspit -- the separate sphere mentality. the women's space was with the family, taking care of the home, and the man's place was outside, the representative of the family outside of the home. and many of our laws were designed to fit that model of the stay-at-home woman and the working man. 70's, decade of the almost all laws of that kind were men. prof. shaw: talk about what
