Sandra Day O'Connor's first influence is that she was the first woman justice in the Supreme Court. She was nominated by President Ronald Reagan in 1981 and retired on July 1, 2005. "In the 1990's, O'Connor was influential and determined the direction of a number of key freedom rulings by the Supreme Courts". "She swayed the court's decisions involving the discrimination and harassment because of gender, and strengthened womans' job opportunity rights." "She has served as an excellent role model to woman in general." O'Connor served on the Supreme Court for 24 years and assissted on many court decisions when it came down to the final vote.
