At the breakfast, from 7:30 to 9 a.m., former Connecticut Supreme Court Associate Justice Joette Katz will moderate a discussion with Thomas.

Historian Evan Thomas‘ biography of Sandra Day O’Connor, America’s first female Supreme Court justice, draws on exclusive interviews and first-time access to O’Connor’s archives.

O’Connor’s story is that of a woman who repeatedly shattered glass ceilings—doing so with a blend of grace, wisdom and humor. This is a remarkably vivid and personal portrait of a woman who built a bridge forward for all Americans.

  • First: Sandra Day O'Connor book cover“Before Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there was Sandra Day O’Connor, and O’Connor’s story has everything.
  • “In Evan Thomas’s brilliant and compelling book, we are given an intimate and gripping account of a pioneering American woman successfully seeking to thrive in an all-male world.
  • “Noble and flawed, selfless and ambitious, Justice O’Connor sought a more perfect union amid imperfect choices.
  • “Written with fluidity and grace, Thomas’s book is required reading for anyone interested in the role of women in America, the course of justice, and the nature of our politics.
  • “This is a landmark achievement about an American original that’s also, blessedly, a delight to read.”

—Jon Meacham, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of The Soul of America
