There, she earned a BA in Economics and a law degree, crossing paths with future Supreme Court Chief Justice William Rehnquist.</p> <h1>Breaking Barriers in Law and Politics</h1> <p>After graduating from Stanford Law School, O’Connor encountered gender barriers in the legal profession but persevered, taking a job as a deputy county attorney in San Mateo, California.
