Sandra Day O'Connor

Evan Thomas

A trailblazing woman who shaped American law, Sandra Day O'Connor overcame discrimination and shattered glass ceilings throughout her career. Born in 1930 in El Paso, she grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona and graduated near the top of her class at law school in 1952, despite no firm willing to interview her. She became the first-ever female majority leader of a state senate, a judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals who humanized the law, and eventually, appointed to the Supreme Court by Reagan in 1981 where she served for a quarter-century. Her story is one of grace, wisdom, humor, understatement, and cowgirl toughness, inspiring women and men alike to be first in their own lives and fight for what they believe in.
