Justice Sandra Day O’Connor
| In this
candid interview with Bill Moyers, Sandra Day O’Connor discusses women’s
rights within the context of her role as the Supreme Court’s first woman
Justice, and the Constitution. Justice O’Connor reveals her own
difficulties in breaking into the male-dominated legal profession, how
she balanced work with family, and how her ultimate ascent from
assistant attorney in the Arizona State Attorney’s Office, to the
state’s first female senator, led to her Supreme Court appointment.
Citing Constitutional precedents, O’Connor defends several controversial
opinions on the issues of affirmative action and abortion. (60 minutes) |
