The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality.

When I graduated from law school in 1959, there wasn't a single woman on any federal bench. It wouldn't be a realistic ambition for a woman to want to become a federal judge.

It's great to be in the position of asking questions and not having to answer questions.

I would not like to be the only woman on the court.
