SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR, the first woman appointed to the Supreme Court, was born March 26,1930, to Harry A. Day and Ada Mae Wilkey Day in El Paso, Texas.
Day's sister and brother, Ann and Alan, were born in 1938 and 1939; she therefore spent her first eight years as an only child, and most of these years on a remote ranch.
Day lived with her grandmother from kindergarten through high school, with a one-year interruption at age thirteen, when homesickness impelled her to return to Arizona.

  Sandra Day O'Connor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sandra Day O'Connor (born March 26, 1930) is an American jurist and former politician who served as the first female Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1981 to 2006.
Sandra O'Connor was part of the federalism movement and approached each case as narrowly as possible, avoiding generalizations that might later "paint her into a corner" for future cases.
In her confirmation hearings and early days on the court, she was carefully ambiguous on the issue, as some conservatives questioned her anti-abortion credentials on the basis of certain of her votes in the Arizona legislature.
