Elizabeth Barrett-Anderson (born July 21, 1953) is a Guamanian lawyer, judge, and moderate Republican politician.
She served as the sixth and thirteenth (fourth elected) Attorney General of Guam, a U.S. territory, from 1987 to 1994 and from 2015 to 2019.
She operated a private law practice on Guam until she was appointed Attorney General by Governor Joseph Franklin Ada in 1987.
[4][5] In 1990, she opposed the enactment of a law restricting abortion to cases in which the life of the mother is threatened.
[8] In April 2015, Barrett-Anderson ordered the director of the Guam Department of Public Health and Social Services to begin processing same-sex marriage licenses on April 15, 2015, which would have made Guam the first U.S. territory to allow same-sex marriage.
