Thirty-three years ago today, Janet Reno raised her right hand and made history — becoming the first woman ever confirmed as U.S. Attorney General.

She grew up the daughter of a Marine and a Navy veteran, an enrolled member of the Laguna Pueblo, and a 35th-generation New Mexican. She raised her daughter as a single mother, once relied on SNAP benefits to make ends meet, and built her career from the ground up — one barrier at a time.

But she didn’t just make history by being first — she made history by what she did with the role.
