The Chief Justice of the Supreme Judicial Court in Massachusetts is retiring. She made history:

“The Massachusetts chief justice who wrote the state’s landmark ruling legalizing gay marriage has announced she’s stepping down.

Chief Justice Margaret Marshall said Wednesday she will retire by the end of October to spend more time with her husband, former New York Times columnist Anthony Lewis. The two-time Pulitzer Prize winner retired in 2001 and has Parkinson’s disease.

The 66-year-old Marshall is a native of South Africa.”
