  • Committee on Women in the Law
    NEW YORK STATE BAR ASSOCIATION COMMITTEE ON WOMEN IN THE LAW WOMEN ATTORNEY TRAILBLAZERS IN NEW YORK STATE Women Attorney Trailblazers in New York State New York State has a rich history of amazing trailblazing women attorneys who broke through barriers and blatant discrimination to make major contributions in the legal profession. Their stories are ones of fierce determination, passion for the law, keen intelligence, and inspiring achievement. From the late 19th Century, when women began gaining admission to state bars, through the 1960s, women attorneys faced widespread discrimination. Women were turned away from law firms, or only offered jobs as librarians or secretaries. Later, women applicants were told that the quota for hiring women was already filled. Or that clients would be uncomfortable with a woman attorney. In the 1970s, women filed complaints alleging discrimination in hiring against 10 major New York law firms. The suits were transformed into a class action under Title VII of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. In a 1977 settlement, the firms agreed to guidelines assuring the hiring of women associates. Through the 1980s, the presence of women attorneys increased greatly in firms, with many electing its first woman partner. Still, in 1986, the New York Task Force on Women in the Courts concluded that there was pervasive sex bias in the courts and that female lawyers were “routinely” demeaned and treated patronizingly by male judges and attorneys. Women have made tremendous strides in the past 40 years — largely due to the efforts of women attorneys who overcame obstacles and blazed a path for other women attorneys to follow.

  • New York State Senate's "Women of Distinction"Exhibit
    Welcome to the New York State Senate Women of Distinction Exhibit MARCH 2017 Dear Friends: Women have been prominent in shaping our American history. To celebrate these women, and in recognition of Women’s History Month, the New York State Senate developed the Historic Women of Distinction exhibit. Every March, we celebrate famous women in several disciplines whose contributions have earned them recognition as New York’s Historic Women of Distinction. The Women of Distinction exhibit features historic New York women, from suffragists to geneticists, labor organizers to entertainers, whose contributions are still felt today and who stand as an inspiration to the next generation of inventors, explorers and achievers. Some of the women in the display include Susan B. Anthony, Lucille Ball, “Grandma Moses” Robertson, Harriet TubmanBlank and Emma Willard, among others - all with strong links to New York State. Women’s History Month is a time to reflect on the enormous contributions of great women from our past. The Women of Distinction exhibit highlights just a few of these extraordinary women and demonstrates the indelible mark that they have made on our great state. Established in 1998, the Women of Distinction program was created to recognize the historic contribution of New York women who exemplify personal excellence, courage, selflessness, integrity and perseverance and serve as an example to all New Yorkers. The Senate’s Historical Women of Distinction is an annual celebration that coincides with national Women’s History Month, observed in March. We hope you will take the time to enjoy our exhibit and marvel at the accomplishments of our fellow New Yorkers.

    443 BREGER AND LYNCH (DO NOT DELETE) 5/5/2014 12:18 PM FROM KATE STONEMAN TO KATE STONEMAN CHAIR, KATHERYN D. KATZ: FEMINIST WAVES AND THE FIRST DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURSE AT A UNITED STATES LAW SCHOOL Melissa L. Breger and Mary A. Lynch* ABSTRACT First-wave feminist, suffragette, and 1898 Albany Law School graduate, Katherine ―Kate‖ Stoneman, pioneered the admission of women to the Bar of the State of New York. She led the charge against the statutory preclusion of women, overturning the statute in 1886 and winning legislative victory for non-discrimination in admission to the bar. Exactly one hundred years later, in 1986, second-wave feminist and Albany Law School graduate Katheryn D. Katz pioneered the teaching of violence against women in law schools by teaching the first documented Domestic Violence seminar course in a United States law school. In 2007, Albany Law School named Professor Katz the first Kate Stoneman Chair in Law and Democracy. The impact these two women made continues to be felt far beyond Albany Law School and New York State. This article positions the role of Albany Law School and two of its graduates in the struggle for equality of women under the law and within law schools. It also documents Professor Katz‘s historical place as a second-wave feminist and the impact her activism has had on the study of domestic violence law, family law, reproductive rights, juvenile rights, and the advancement of issues concerning women and children nationwide. * Melissa Breger and Mary Lynch are Professors of Law at Albany Law School and members and former Chairs of Albany Law School Kate Stoneman Committees.
