*"Ginsburg: 'Equal-Protection' Amendment Should Be Added to Constitution. "I
want my granddaughters to see what are the fundamental tenets of our society,"
the 84-year-old Supreme Court justice said in an address to students at New

"There is nothing in the Constitution that says that men and women are people

Ginsburg said being a woman on the nation's top court has not been a cake walk.
"The worst period was when I was lone woman on the court, when there were

things have improved." https://www.newsmax.com/.

*"On Monday, Margot Duhalde, Chile's first female military pilot, died at the age
of 97, the Chilean government said. Duhalde volunteered for the Free French
Forces, and served with the British Royal Air Force and British Air Transport
Auxiliary during the second World War.
Duhalde, who learnt to fly an airplane at the age of sixteen, got her license to fly
aircraft in 1938. She had left her home in Rio Bueno to undertake pilot's training
at the Chilean Air Club in the capital city of Santiago.
In 1940, Duhalde volunteered for the Free French Forces in Santiago. She
worked with the British Royal Air Force where she helped the mechanics and
looked after the sick. She then joined the Air Transport Auxiliary of Britain and
flew aircraft between British airfields during World War II.
In 1946, a year after the war ended, Duhalde was titled Knight of France's Legion
of Honour. She returned to her homeland in 1947 and was made an honorary
colonel by the Fuerza Aérea de Chile ((es)) (FACh)."
