US Supreme Court Judge Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, an iconic champion of women's rights, has died of cancer at the age of 87.
Ginsburg died of metastatic pancreatic cancer at her home in Washington, DC, surrounded by her family.
Earlier this year, Ginsburg said she was undergoing chemotherapy for a recurrence of cancer.
She was a prominent feminist who became a figurehead for liberals in the US.
Ginsburg was the oldest sitting justice on the Supreme Court, having served 27 years on the nation's highest court.
