Last year’s original centennial celebration was put on hold because of Covid. The original Women’s History celebration began as the first week of March in 1982, and was eventually expanded in 1987 to be the entire month of March. Although women have made many gains in the last century and we look forward to spotlighting them here, we have to remember that ERA Amendment remains unratified. Mrs. Anderson’s Sociology Class Sandra Day O'Connor was born on March 16, 1930, in El Paso, Texas. O'Connor and her family grew up on a ranch in Sandra Day Arizona. She was very skilled at riding and worked on the farm. After graduating from Stanford University in 1950 with a bachelor's in economics, she attended law school and got her degree two years later. O'Connor struggled to find a job due to the lack of female O'Connor positions in the law industry, so she became a deputy county attorney. She continued to be a lawyer while traveling overseas and was given the opportunity to fill in a job by Governor Jack Williams. She won the election and reelection as a conservative republican.
