☆ Sandra Day O’Connor, First Woman on Supreme Court, Dies at 93
  + stars: | 2023-12-01 | by ( Jess Bravin | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Sandra Day O’Connor , the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court and its most powerful justice for much of her tenure, died Friday at age 93. O’Connor, who retired in 2006 after 25 years on the court, died in Phoenix of complications related to advanced dementia and a respiratory illness, the court said in an announcement. Justice O’Connor was an Arizona state judge in 1981 when Republican President Ronald Reagan , fulfilling a campaign pledge to break the male monopoly on the high court, selected her to succeed retired Justice Potter Stewart. She ushered in a wave of women marking “firsts” in the early 1980s, along with America’s first woman astronaut, Sally Ride, and first woman on a major-party presidential ticket, Geraldine Ferraro.

But everyone DVR'd, everyone watched it, and everyone relished that their little summer town was somehow elevated to prominence." Rosenblum simply took events that punctuated the summer, like the town-wide Bay picnic and the summer tennis tournament, and used them as a backdrop for her fictional drama. "You'll see him on the tennis court, and you'll see her around town, and nothing's going to change," they said.
