Sandra Day O’Connor, born in 1930, was a pioneer for female leaders.
In 1981, she became the first female justice appointed to the United States Supreme Court. As a result, she not only changed the face of the court but also paved the way for women to enter traditionally male-dominated fields.
As a young girl in the 1980s, I expected that I would follow a certain path.
My path was to graduate school, find a suitable husband to take care of me, and begin procreation.
My desire for a career was mocked.
