Until 1981, no woman had served on the Supreme Court, which changed with the appointment of Sandra Day O'Connor. Her appointment was a significant milestone for gender representation in the justice system. Following her, other female justices were appointed, contributing to a more diverse court. ;
The correct answer is C: no woman had served on the Supreme Court until Sandra Day O'Connor's appointment in 1981.
