First, Sandra Day O’Connor
by Evan Thomas
Sandra Day O’Connor was the first woman on the Supreme Court. She was nominated by Ronald Reagan and was confirmed by an overwhelming majority in the Senate. This is her story as told by Evan Thomas. In in Justice O’Connor is shown to be a down to earth hero. She appears to be a pragmatic honest person with a love of family, the law and the west. It makes me proud to be living in the same state as her. I highly recommend this book if you are not a partisan person. Partisans on both sides will find the book too kind.
I want to read this book and I will– there is another book about her that you would like– LAZY B it is about her growing up days (before she became a lawyer) on a ranch near Safford AZ– Her dads ranch straddled the AZ New Mex border– I have also read out of order– which I liked
