Scope and Contents

From the Sub-Series:

A historically significant document, Lavinia's brief for presentation to the Wisconsin Supreme Court makes a compelling argument, and its acceptance sealed her efforts to see women lawyers recognized. Both Maria's account of her sister's life and her statement on women's suffrage are of great interest.
