In back-to-back U.S. Open news conferences Monday night, Venus and Serena Williams were equally eloquent in their feelings for African-American pioneer Althea Gibson.

Firsts are firsts, after all, and Sandra Day O'Connor was followed by Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and that was that for a woman expecting recognition as a pioneer on the Supreme Court. No one any longer regards it as worth remarking when a woman becomes a doctor, lawyer, editor, astronaut or chief executive officer. Women have shattered a lot of glass ceilings.
