Herminia Tormes García (19 October 1891 – 7 November 1964) was a Puerto Rican lawyer and the first woman to practice the profession on the island.

After earning the right to practice law in 1917, she became the first woman to bring a case before the Bostonian jurisdiction of the United States Court of Appeals in 1924.

[10] By August, the campaign was island-wide and the Tormes siblings, along with Rafael Martínez Nadal, organized a demonstration to protest the violation of women's human rights.

[11] Leopoldo was accused of subverting the war efforts because of his vigorous defense of women's rights,[12] but the pressure of numerous lawsuits and media coverage caused the government to suspend mass arrests.

At the end of World War I, she founded a school with Moisés Echevarría to offer vocational training to inmates,[15] refusing to call the women prostitutes.

After successfully convincing the department of education to provide teachers for women prisoners, Tormes pressed the Council of National Defense to implement economic development projects for the entire island.

In 2013, the Bar Association hosted an exhibit for Lawyer's week, In Memoriam, which included Tormes, to honor the prominent Puerto Rican jurists who had been instrumental in developing the country's equal access to justice.
