Women Lawyers In Oregon 140 Years of Success, Synergy & SURPRISES

Since 1886, many trailblazing women in Oregon have built successful careers in the legal profession, some with quite unusual paths, especially for their time. As women lawyers formed their own networking organizations, they found synergies, especially in state-wide collaborations. Trudy Allen presents Oregon's history of women in the legal world, including some surprising visibility and achievements, including in the judiciary. Trudy also covers the challenges and ongoing efforts to make lasting progress for women in the field and others from underrepresented communities.
