In today's Short List, we look back at Ginsburg's life, full of glass-ceiling-shattering accomplishments, impassioned dissents and pop culture dominance.  Ruth Bader Ginsburg: Gender rights heroine to high court justice Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a legal pioneer for gender equality who became the second woman to serve on the high court.
