Another interesting new book: Pioneering Women Lawyers: From Kate Stonement to the Present / Salkin, Patricia E., ed. ABA Publishing: Chicago, 2008.
“Albany Law School has hosted an annual Kate Stoneman Day since 1994 to celebrate the first woman admitted to the Bar in New York, who was also the first woman to attend Albany Law School. This important book shares the inspiration, advice and experiences of pioneering women in the legal profession who continue to pave the way for others.”
And, it is worth noting that the first footnote in the book is to one of our terrific student papers: Christine Sebourn’s paper on Kate Stoneman on the Women’s Legal History Biography web site.
