I choose to write on ;
Florence E. Allen she was an honors graduate from NYU law school and the first Ohio women prosecutor. What is significant of her is that she was the first women to argue at the supreme court and also to be elected to state trial court and handle a first degree murder case. She was also the first women to be appointed to a federal court by President Franklin Roosevelt. Another women in the law field I choose was Jane Bolin. She was the first black women graduate from Yale Law School. Bolin had several experience as a clerked while she prepared for her bar exam and passed on 1937. She was named Assistant corporation counsel for the city of New York and then had a wide experience for 40 years serving as a judge of Domestic Relations Court. This position made her the first black women judge in the United States. I found these women very interesting because both were in the position of breaking the barriers set up by society. They both became the first to be in situations that women were not in. Florence as the first prosecutor and Bolin as the first black judge. I admire women that not only break through the unknown but those that have a positive effect on history.
