“I will never forget that moment in the hearing. As we consider this nomination, I want to reflect on how far we have come. I see I have been joined by the dean of the women Senators, Senator Mikulski from Maryland. When Sandra Day O'Connor graduated from law school more than 50 years ago, as the Senator from Maryland knows, the only offer she got back then after she graduated high up in her class from Stanford Law School, the only offer she got at a law firm was as a secretary. Justice Ginsburg faced similar obstacles. When she entered Harvard, she was only one of nine women in a class of more than 500. One professor actually asked her to justify taking that place in that law school class from a man.”
