Edith Windsor died Tuesday at the age of 88. In 2010, she sued the federal government over the Defense of Marriage Act. The court eventually ruled that same-sex couples in some states could get federal benefits, and in 2015, the Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage.
NPR's Nina Totenberg (@NinaTotenberg) profiled Windsor in 2015, and we listen back to her report.
