NEW YORK, Oct 23 - U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who has championed women's rights on the nation's highest court, was awarded a prestigious $1 million prize on Wednesday as a"lifelong trailblazer for human rights and gender equality."
Ginsburg, who is on the court's liberal wing, was recently treated for pancreatic cancer but has indicated she had no plans to step down. "If you look not just at the U.S. but if you look around the world, democratic institutions, the fabric of what makes a democracy work are under attack," he told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.Since it was first awarded in 2016, the Berggruen prize has been given to philosophers and scholars from Canada, Great Britain and the United States.
