PHOTO TAKEN IN 1974, SEVEN YEARS BEFORE THE FIRST WOMAN, SANDRA DAY O'CONNOR, WAS APPOINTED TO THE SUPREME COURT

.

JUSTICES ARE MEMBERS OF NATIONAL ORGANIZATION FOR WOMEN BOARD IN 1974. Left to right, Ann Scott, Joan EvansGardner, Muriel Fox, Jacqui Ceballos, Wilma Scott Heide, Karen DeCrow, Nola Claire, Dorothy Haener and Toni Carabillo. All, except Nola Claire, were members of the NOW board. Muriel Fox, Jacqui Ceballos, Karen DeCrow and Nola Claire are the only ones alive today

We owe this photo to Karen DeCrow, then NOW's newly elected president. At the time the idea of women being named to the Supreme Court was remote.
