On Finding Mentors, Your Voice, and a Seat at the Table

If people remember Edie Windsor, it’s typically because she was the lead plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that overturned the Defense of Marriage Act and paved the way for same sex marriage


But long before her landmark case to remove inheritance taxes on her late wife’s estate, Windsor received a Master’s degree in mathematics from New York University. In 1958, the year after earning her degree, Windsor started work at IBM.
