Third and Fourth Annotation

Gherman, Beverly. Sandra Day O'Connor:Justice For All. Penguin Group , 1991.

This a short biography by Beverly Gherman that follows the life of Sandra Day O’Connor from her child years living in her Arizona ranch to her day of being crowned the first female to be named the Supreme Court. This book is a short one but summarize the struggles Sandra had to overcome before she got to where she is.
This book contains a few primary sources but mostly secondary sources. The book contains specific dates when Mrs. Sandra graduated, when she got degrees and when she was officially crowned. The book was a good source to learn fast facts about her life and her parents but I still will have to learn more.

Branigin, Barbash, and Deane, William, Fred, and Daniela. "Supreme Court Justice O'Connor Resigns". Washington Post July 1,2005: 1-4.

This is a news article by Washington’s Post. This article states the events that occurred on the day Sandra Day O’Connor resigned. The article contains quotes from both George Bush and Sandra Day O’Connor. Sandra Day O’Connor wrote a letter to Bush expressing her fillings towards her 24 terms spent in court. In her letter she states, “It has been a great privilege indeed to have served as a member ….” I would consider this to be a primary source. In contains quotes, letters, and dates when the resignation of Sandra Day O’Connor occurs. This information helped get a view on Sandra Day O’Connor personality. Her intelligent words and the way she held conversations help me get a visual on her character.

Thesis Statement and Introduction

They considered her a wasted nomination.Her position as first women justice to sit on Supreme Court was quick to draw criticism. They were quick to doubt her abilities as a women. But through it all Sanda Day O'Connor overcame all the doubts and rose to the top. Despite her struggles as a young child and her rise to the top Sandra became an inspiration and leader to women all over the world. Without the determination, self-will, and courage of Mrs.Connor women such as Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Juanita Kidd Stout,Judith Sheindlin, Judge Karin, and many more would of never had that chance. Sandra Day O'Connr opened doors for many women including myself.
