Remembering Sandra Day O'Connor: The Trailblazing First Woman on the Supreme Court
Sandra Day O'Connor, the first woman to serve on the Supreme Court and an unwavering voice of moderate conservatism, has died at the age of 93. She passed away in Phoenix due to complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness. O'Connor's nomination in 1981 by President Ronald Reagan ended 191 years of male exclusivity on the high court. Throughout her tenure, she played a pivotal role in landmark rulings on abortion and was regarded as a hardworking and influential justice. O'Connor's legacy as a trailblazer and advocate for women's rights will be remembered.
