Edith Windsor
Edith "Edie" Windsor was an American LGBT rights activist and a technology manager at IBM. She was the lead plaintiff in the 2013 Supreme Court of the United States case United States v.

The Obama administration and federal agencies extended rights, privileges and benefits to married same-sex couples because of the decision.
