On the Basis of Sex Blu-Ray submitted by a2sue on July 13, 2019, 9:23am The Blu-Ray for On the Basis of Sex was extremely interesting -- learning about RBG's early days as an attorney was surprising as well as eye-opening. Definitely recommended!

On the Basis of Sex submitted by lstorc on July 29, 2019, 6:05pm On the Basis of Sex is extraordinary! Strong recommendation

Inspirational! submitted by Xris on August 24, 2019, 12:16am This movie makes me love RBG even more than I already did! She worked hard to become what she is today, and Marty also helped her, equally. Seeing how much she did for herself, and for her husband when he was ill, is inspirational! I hope many more young women are inspired by her and change society for the better!!

Watch "On the Basis of Sex" before "RBG" :) submitted by wersaloma on September 22, 2019, 1:09am Awesome documentary drama about Ruth Bader Ginsberg's early history of becoming an attorney!! Best part was learning of her struggles in a male dominated professional world and the battles she fought and won to actually CHANGE history many times!!
This docudrama is awesome to watch as a prequel before watching "RBG." The two together are a complete history of a truly inspiring woman that became one of the most pivotal Supreme Court Justices in history! (imho)
The two movies should be a must see for ALL women! Especially, young women that are in high school and are starting to make career choices. Girls! You can do anything!!! :D

Excellent submitted by majean on July 19, 2020, 7:29pm I wasn't aware of this history, and I really enjoyed learning about it! I was sent me down a few rabbit holes to learn more.
