RBG is still inspiring young girls to be a 'superhero,' dream big. These photos prove it.

WASHINGTON — Associate Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a "tiny lady" with "the strength of a superhero," said Jacki Gilbert, of Baltimore, as she stood at the base of the Supreme Court steps Wednesday. “She never quit.”

It's that mighty spirit that's being embraced by girls of a generation much younger than Ginsburg's, many of whom flocked to the nation's highest court to pay final respects to the "Notorious RBG," a champion of women's rights law. Ginsburg died Friday at age 87.

She helped shatter gender barriers in education. She pushed forward on equal pay. She fought for voting rights.

And outside of the courtroom, Ginsburg embodied strength as she battled five bouts of cancer across two decades.

“There’s a few people in our generation that have had as great of an impact on equal rights and women’s rights as Ruth Bader Ginsburg,” said Kate Blanton, who traveled from Columbia, South Carolina, to pay her respects at the Supreme Court.

“I think she’s just a beacon of hope for women – and everyone else, too,” Blanton said.

Ginsburg's casket will be moved from the court to the U.S. Capitol building Friday, where she'll become the first woman to lie in state.
