First 100 Women Lawyers - First 100 Years of Women Lawyers
A unifying theme for research on pioneering women lawyers has been the "First 100" (or sometimes more) women lawyers admitted to practice in a given jurisdiction, or the first 100 years of women being admitted to the practice of law. Often gala celebrations have been held to honor these trailblazers.
Here are links to some of the research that has been done or is continuing along the "First 100" theme:
A Celebration for the First 100 Women and the Nebraska State Bar Association
New Hampshire Women's Bar Association
New Mexico Women's Bar Association First Female Attorneys
Celebrating Vermont's First 100 Women Lawyers 1902-1978
State Bar of Wisconsin First 150 Women
