The imagery of sight
The author’s opening statement paints a picture of how the Supreme Court looked like when the first two female justices were admitted to the bench. The author writes, “On Monday, October 4, 1993, for the first time in history, two female justices settled into their chairs on the raised mahogany bench of the US Supreme Court.” The imagery depicts the sense of sight to readers because they can visualize the jubilant mood and the Supreme Court's historical feeling.
Imagery of Ginsburg
Ginsburg recalls the year 1993 when the Senate heard and confirmed her nomination to the Supreme Court. Now, she is happy to see that the Supreme Court has three women who meet the third gender rule. The author writes, "Three women justices-one-third of the Supreme Court! Back in 1993, at the Senate confirmation hearing on her nomination to Court, then-Judge Ginsburg had told the assembled senators that indeed in her lifetime she needed to see three women as Supreme Court Judges."
The imagery of hearing
The sense of hearing is appealed to readers when the author comments on the debate on equality. The author writes, “Listening to one another across this divide and engaging with opposite ideas are necessary steps for ‘We the people’ to keep and protect that ‘more perfect Union’ that Ruth Bader Ginsburg worked so hard to achieve.”
The imagery of touch
Justice Ginsburg strongly feels that male judges do not understand the bias women go through at their workplaces. The reader realizes that Justice Ginsburg has a personal touch with problems women are going through because they are paid less than their male counterparts. The author writes, "Justice Ginsburg disagreed with the Court’s ruling. The male Justices, she felt, really didn’t understand the bias women could encounter at work. She not only wrote a dissent – which is not unusual – but announced it from the bench.”
