A truly incredible woman.  Couldn’t get a job as a lawyer at first despite  graduating third from Stanford Law School.  Without getting political, I will say imo she has never gotten the credit she deserves for advancing the cause of women in the law.  I graduated from Santa Clara Law School in ‘85.  It was the first graduating class that was 50% women. Today, women are a majority of graduates at elite law schools (of which S. Clara is not one!). Justice O’Connor was a trailblazer. 


May she rest in peace.
