Ruth Bader Ginsburg talks about her run-ins with sexual harassers, dreams of singing opera and those ‘Gins-burn’ sketches during Sundance appearance

“Every woman of my vintage knows about sexual harassment, though we didn’t have a name for it,” the associate justice of the U.S. Supreme Court told a standing-room-only audience in the cozy Park City Elks Lodge on Sunday at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival.

Ginsburg, the subject of a CNN Films documentary, “RBG,” set to premiere Sunday at the festival, told of one instance in which she was a student at Cornell University. Ahead of a big exam, her chemistry professor offered to give her a practice exam.

“The next day, the test is the practice exam, and I knew exactly what he wanted in return,” Ginsburg said.
