At a time when women were expected to be homemakers, she set her sights on Stanford University. When she graduated near the top of her class at law school in 1952, no firm would even interview her. But Sandra Day O'Connor's story is that of a woman who repeatedly shattered glass ceilings -- doing so with a blend of grace, wisdom, humor, understatement, and cowgirl toughness. She became the first-ever female majority leader of a state senate. As a judge on the Arizona State Court of Appeals, she stood up to corrupt lawyers and humanized the law. When she arrived at the Supreme Court, appointed by Reagan in 1981, she began a quarter-century tenure on the court, hearing cases that ultimately shaped American law. Diagnosed with cancer at fifty-eight, and caring for a husband with Alzheimer's, O'Connor endured every difficulty with grit and poise. Women and men today will be inspired by how to be first in your own life, how to know when to fight and when to walk away, through O'Connor's example."--$$cProvided by publisher. 000859367 60010 $$aO'Connor, Sandra Day,$$d1930- 000859367 61010 $$aUnited States.$$bSupreme Court$$xOfficials and employees$$vBiography. 000859367 650_0 $$aWomen judges$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000859367 655_7 $$aBiographies.$$2lcgft 000859367 85200 $$bgen$$hKF8745.O25$$iT46$$i2019 000859367 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:859367$$pGLOBAL_SET 000859367 980__ $$aBIB 000859367 980__ $$aBOOK
