Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, a trailblazer for women in law and advocate for ideological compromise, has passed away at 93.
Appointed in 1981 as the first woman on the Supreme Court, she played a pivotal role in reshaping the male-dominated legal landscape.
Despite initial conservative expectations, O’Connor’s positions on key issues like abortion rights and affirmative action evolved over time, reflecting her nuanced approach.
In her post-judicial career, she founded iCivics, an online platform promoting civics education.
O’Connor’s legacy is recognized as a powerful force for gender equality and legal precedent.
