Georgia Bullock

Georgia Philipps Bullock (November 18, 1878 − August 28, 1957) was the first female Superior Court judge in California.

A promising concert singer as a child, she was discouraged by her parents from pursuing a career in music because they disapproved of women performing publicly.

As a young woman, Bullock worked at a law firm during the day and took shorthand and typing classes at night.

[2] She became a prominent role model for professional woman in Los Angeles, promoting the participation of women in public office and policymaking.

[3] In 1924, Bullock was named by county supervisors to the Women's Court, becoming the first female judge in California above the level of justice of the peace.
