Marie Remington Wing (November 5, 1885 – December 27, 1982) was an American lawyer and progressive activist who became the first woman to serve on the Cleveland City Council in Ohio.

[1] As a New Deal lawyer, Wing guided legislators in creating new bureaus and agencies, and advised the Social Security Board in their earliest compliance hearings.

She attended Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania until her family’s financial struggles caused her to seek employment back in Cleveland.

[3][4] As industrial secretary, Wing worked with factory girls to improve their education, aiming to guide them towards safe, healthy, moral recreation.

[2][3] After leaving the YWCA to attend Cleveland Law School, Wing found herself encouraged by her peers to run for a new city council seat.

[8] One responsibility which she held during her time as regional attorney was advising the central Social Security office on how to best pressure state and local officials into compliance.

Among the non-compliant officials was Ohio governor Martin Davey, whose misappropriation of new Social Security-created positions to political allies and friends caused one of the Administration’s first compliance hearings.
