Daughter of the Desert
How does a girl who grew up on an Arizona ranch become the first woman on the U.S. Supreme Court? Read an excerpt from Sandra Day O'Connor's new book.

The film follows that tumultuous year, as well as others in a career that encompassed numerous political and ideological triumphs. Though he never achieved the ultimate prize, the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 vindicated the conservative agenda Goldwater had long championed.
