One of her closest friends said she was an “unfeminist feminist.” She understood that it was perilous for her time to be too far out there. So when she was a state politician, serving in the Arizona state legislature, she was careful. Addressing the Rotary Club in Arizona, she said something that sounds so off-putting to us now: “I come to you with my bra and my wedding ring on.” It was the late ’60s, and the feminists were being mocked as bra burners. So she is responding to that.
CK: Justice O’Connor was one of very few female lawyers when she graduated from Stanford in the early 1950s. How did she get her start in law?Well, first, she applies to the law firm Gibson Dunn, and they say, “Our clients won’t stand for being represented by a woman.” And someone there suggests she apply for a secretary job.Then about a year later, she goes looking for a job in the public sector. The district attorney says he can’t pay her. She says, “That’s fine. I’ll work for free.
When she left the court to take care of him — John was suffering from severe Alzheimer’s — she said, “He sacrificed for me, now I’m going to sacrifice for him.” I do think she felt some sense of obligation. I remember sitting with her in her nursing home, and she said: “It was not easy, being the husband of me.”When his practice in D.C. wasn’t successful, after she started on the Supreme Court, I think they were both disappointed.But Sandra was good at making him feel good.
But she didn’t go into a shell. She just kept asking: “What can I do with the rest of my life? How can I be helpful for others?”, ultimately giving Bush the election. Why did she make that decision?She’s a Republican, but I don’t think she was partisan here. I think she hates messes. And she could see that, if the recount went on, it was likely to wind back up in Congress. Bush was going to win anyway. But it was going to take weeks.
She's a patriarched female monster not a feminist or feminine, she's just female.
More with the feminist feminists please
This woman was responsible for George Bush stealing the election. She bears responsibility for the Iraq war. Do not whitewash her legacy.
