Meet Ruth- she’s tiny but mighty. She’s intense, and somewhat quiet but may be one of the most intimidating women ever. Ruth grew up in a working class family but was brilliant, and ended up attending Cornell where she met her outgoing, gregarious husband - the first boy she’d ever dated who actually cared that she had a brain. This was the 50’s and, seeing that his wife was a disaster in the kitchen, Marty took up cooking and they never looked back. They had a child and then almost immediately her husband had to go to war for two years. So she waited until he got back to attend Harvard Law School, where Marty attended as well. During that time he battled testicular cancer, so she spent evenings keeping him up to date on his studies as well as maintaining her position at the top of her class, one year behind him. While being a mom. Badass. Ruth was smarter than most men she knew, yet had been treated as second class by most of them. She devoted much of what became an illustrious career to women’s rights, eventually serving as a figurehead for the cause as the second female Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Ruth joked that there would be enough female Supreme Court Justices when there were nine. 🔥

He was so different from her - wild, undisciplined, hedonistic in every way. It was like they were from two different worlds but she was so fascinated by him and his lifestyle that she found herself dating him before long. Florence found that Ariel wasn't returning her calls, and was never available.
She filed for divorce and embarked on the rest of her journey on her own. Freed from her abuser's oppression, Tina achieved what has been described as "one of the greatest comebacks in music history."
