The Stanford Law School Robert Crown Library staff, in collaboration with Professor Barbara Babcock and her students, have created a Women's Legal History Biography Project website as a resource for all who are interested in the subject of women lawyers in the United States.
Its main tool is biography, a study of the lives of the individual women lawyers and the movements and philosophies that inspired and sustained them.
[1] The project started with a single biography - that of Clara S. Foltz[1], the first woman lawyer in California.
In the course of writing her life, Foltz's biographer, Professor Barbara Babcock, has compiled a wealth of information about her subject and the times in which she lived, and most particularly, the other women lawyers she knew.
The pioneer lawyers who are the subject of work found under other headings are listed alphabetically.
