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.
SCU's not an elite law school, but their current demographic profile is 60% women.

I saw the announcement of Judge O'Connor's passing. Extraordinary woman. represented Stanford well.
