She profoundly impacted American jurisprudence in her role as the first woman to serve in the nation’s highest court.

Sandra Day O’Connor Journey
O’Connor’s journey began on the Lazy B, a sprawling 160,000-acre cattle ranch along the Arizona-New Mexico border where she spent her childhood. In the 1940s and 1950s few women were college educated.
O’Connor graduated from Stanford University’s law school, where she formed lifelong connections with figures like future Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
