Collection Highlights - Women's History Month: Justices on the Supreme Court of the United States

In celebration of Women's History Month in March, we have some highlights from our collection about the four women who have served as Justices on the Supreme Court of the United States - Sandra Day O'Connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Sonia Sotomayor, and Elena Kagan.

Women's History Month honors and celebrates the struggles and achievements of American women throughout the history of the United States. American women have struggled throughout our history to gain rights not simply for themselves but for many other underrepresented and disenfranchised groups in America.
