The US Supreme Court historically restricted women's rights by applying the so-called "reasonableness" standard, allowing federal, state and local governments to enact discriminatory laws that the Court deemed constitutional because they served a "legitimate" government interest. Historically, this doctrine has been used to deny women the right of reproductive choice, workplace protection, redress for discriminatory treatment and other important liberties.

She was the first women on the supreme court.
Sandra Day O'Connor was important because she was the first woman ever appointed to the Supreme Court; President Reagan named her to that position in 1981. She was already well-respected as a lawyer, an Assistant Attorney General in her native Arizona, a state senator, and then a judge. Justice O'Connor saw herself as a centrist: she was a conservative Republican, but she was known for being fair and moderate in her decisions. She served until 2006.
