Writing with the same narrative flair, sense of history and politics, and deep insight into people and institutions that made his Being Nixon, Ike’s Bluff, and Wise Men essential Washington reading, Thomas now delivers an authoritative, compelling, and intimate portrait of Sandra Day O’Connor. Drawing on exclusive access to Justice O’Connor, her papers, and internal Supreme Court documents, along with interviews with the Justice’s family, friends, law clerks, and colleagues, Thomas chronicles in detail the life of the first woman Supreme Court Justice from her upbringing on an Arizona cattle ranch, her stellar academic career, and her shattering of glass ceilings in law, academia, and state government, to her tenure on the High Court from 1981 to 2006 and her resignation due to ill health. As Thomas masterfully shows, O’Connor left a powerful legacy in both jurisprudence and the popular imagination.
The speakers were introduced by Bradley Graham, from Politics and Prose.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
