March is Women’s History Month, and this month we take a moment to recognize and learn a little bit about women who have served on the United States Supreme Court. The Court is the highest tribunal in the Nation for all cases and controversies arising under the Constitution or the laws of the United States. As the final arbiter of the law, the Court is charged with ensuring the American people the promise of equal justice under law and, thereby, also functions as guardian and interpreter of the Constitution. To date, six women have served on the Court, with four of them still actively serving.
