Lives of the justices: Two Supreme Court biographies
Biographer Evan Thomas describes former Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor as “a relentless apostle for service” in First: Sandra Day O'Connor. Her relentlessness began in her childhood, growing up on a 250-square-mile ranch in Arizona without electricity or running water and learning to drive and shoot a gun long before reaching adolescence.
O’Connor graduated in 1952 among the top 10 percent of her class at Stanford Law School, where, ironically, her least favorite area of study was constitutional law.
