Gore -- Affirmative action -- End game -- Labor of love. 520 $a "She was born in 1930 in El Paso and grew up on a cattle ranch in Arizona. 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."-- $c Provided by publisher 600 10 $a O'Connor, Sandra Day, $d 1930- 610 10 $a United States. $b Supreme Court $x Officials and employees $v Biography. 650 0 $a Women judges $z United States $v Biography. 650 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY $x Women. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW $x Legal History. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a HISTORY $z United States $x 20th Century. $2 bisacsh 600 17 $a O'Connor, Sandra Day, $d 1930- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00081252 610 17 $a United States. $b Supreme Court. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00529481 650 7 $a Employees. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00909111 650 7 $a Women judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178081 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 650 7 $a Women judges $v Biography. $2 sears 655 0 $a Biographies. 655 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Lawyers & Judges. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Women. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Political. $2 bisacsh 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919896 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 1 $n 1 952 $l XXPH787 $d 20210603142027.0 $n 10 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2989BADEAC3311EB98A411E3203FDB2A 994 $a C0 $b IOZInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
