About this book

America's First Woman Lawyer: The Biography of Myra Bradwell by Friedman, Jane M.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780879758127.

During her lifetime, Myra Bradwell (1831-1894) - Americas "first" woman lawyer as well as publisher and editor-in-chief of a prestigious legal newspaper - did more to establish and aid the rights of women and other legally handicapped people than any other woman of her day. Her female contemporaries - Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Lucy Stone - are known to all. Now it is time for Myra Bradwell to assume her rightful place among womens rights leaders of the nineteenth century. With author Jane Friedmans discovery of previously unpublished letters and valuable documents, Bradwells fascinating story can at last be told.
