Women Lawyers and the Quest for Professional Identity in Late Nineteenth-Century America
-
See Robinson's Case, 131 Mass. 376 (1881), discussed infra Section II.C. Though denied access to the bar by the court in response to her initial petition, Robinson eventually became Massachusetts's first woman lawyer. See Virginia G. Drachman, Women Lawyers and the Quest for Professional Identity in Late Nineteenth-Century America, 88 MICH. L. REV. 2414, 2414 (1990). She eventually was admitted by legislative enactment. See Ellen A. Martin, Admission of Women to the Bar, CHI. L. TIMES, Nov. 1886, at 85.

The Nineteenth Amendment and Women's Equality
-
Note
-
See, e.g., Jennifer K. Brown, Note, The Nineteenth Amendment and Women's Equality, 102 YALE L.J. 2175, 2176-77 (1993) (arguing that Strauder served as important precedent after the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment for establishing that voting and jury service were intertwined for women). Even a brief consideration of the Court's opinion in Strauder reveals that the Court rendered the decision in the highly particularized context of the Reconstruction Amendments. The attempt to generalize jury service as a direct function of voting beyond the emancipation context is therefore not well-supported by Strauder.

See id. at 1165-66. In her analysis of the activism of the first women lawyers, Babcock argues that Virginia Drachman mistakenly portrays them as engaged in a separate and self-interested struggle, contending instead that they were "self-conscious feminists" and should therefore be understood as fused with women who battled for suffrage. See Babcock, supra note 7, at 1699-1700. In her most recent work on women lawyers in the 19th century, Drachman acknowledges that women lawyers linked their cause to gain access to the bar to the suffrage struggle. See VIRGINIA DRACHMAN, SISTERS IN LAW: WOMEN LAWYERS IN MODERN AMERICAN HISTORY 2 (1998). Approaching the history of women's rights from this "bundled" perspective is not entirely inconsistent with a history according to which each of the spheres to which women sought access related to the others. The Western experiments reveal, however, that using suffrage as the umbrella cause diminishes the significance of the battle to gain access to the courtroom.

The First Woman Jury
-
An Act to Grant to the Women of the Wyoming Territory the Right of Suffrage and to Hold Office, ch. 31, 1869 Wyo. Terr. Laws 371 [hereinafter Wyoming Suffrage Act]. A group of middle-class men and women lobbied the legislature to pass the Act, and to the surprise of many in the legislature, women's suffrage prevailed. See Grace Raymond Hebard, The First Woman Jury, 7 J. AM. HIST. 1293 (1913). In addition to the Suffrage Act, the Wyoming legislature passed a married women's property act, borrowing statutory language from Colorado - the first territory to enact such legislation. The legislature also passed laws forbidding sex discrimination in the hiring of teachers and a resolution allowing women to attend legislative sessions. An amendment to the suffrage law granting "colored women and squaws" the right to vote did not pass. See T.A. LARSON, HISTORY OF WYOMING 78-79 (1978). The Washington Territory engaged in similar mixed jury experiments in the 1880s. See infra Section I.D. In 1898, Utah became the first state to permit women to serve on juries. See Abrahamson, supra note 14, at 264.

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming, 7 WOMAN'S J. 36 (1876) (providing an account of Justice Kingman's testimony before the Joint Special Committee of the Massachusetts Legislature on Woman Suffrage). In their account of the Wyoming experiments, the editors of History of Woman Suffrage noted similar changes. The bar seemed to have been on its best behavior, such that "wrangling, abuse, and buncome speeches were not heard. When men moved about they walked quietly, on tip-toe, so as to make no noise, and forebore to whisper or make any demonstrations in or around the court-room." 3 HISTORY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE, supra note 32, at 734.

Elizabeth Cady Stanton et al. eds.
-
This claim that women would be incapable of administering justice for men as the result of an inability to "relate" dominated the rhetoric of women's rights advocates who agitated for women's jury service, in an inverse form. Their arguments stemmed from the premise that women should be judged by their peers and not their sovereigns. In a speech to a women's rights convention in Syracuse, activist Antoinette Brown offered this sentiment: When woman is tried for crime, her jury, her judges, her advocates, are all men; and yet there may have been temptations and various palliating circumstances connected with her peculiar nature as woman, such as man can not [sic] appreciate. Common justice demands that a part of the law-makers and law executors should be of her own sex. 1 HISTORY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE 525 (Elizabeth Cady Stanton et al. eds., 1881); see also A Flaw in the Jury System, 24 WOMAN'S J. 188 (1893) (noting that the average woman, as a woman, would be better able to judge other women and that the "nineteenth century would seem to be old enough now to concede that a woman on trial for her life or liberty has the right to have equal sex representation on the jury that is to pass upon her guilt or innocence").

July 30, quoting LAW TIMES (London)

CHI. LEGAL NEWS, July 30, 1870, at 351 (quoting LAW TIMES (London)). The London paper advocated jury service by women on the premise that it would allow "busy tradesmen" to send their wives and daughters as substitutes, indicating a conception of jury service as a burden, or as a public function secondary to the plying of one's trade.

On the subject of female suffrage in the Western territories, the editors of the History of Woman Suffrage wrote: The prospect was, that it would either remain a dead letter, or be swept away under the ridicule and abuse of the press, and the open attacks of its enemies. But it had withstood all these adverse forces, and from small beginnings has grown to be a permanent power in our politics, a vital institution, satisfactory to all our people. 3 HISTORY OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE, supra note 32, at 747.

See id. at 28-29. Robinson describes the presence of children in the courtroom vividly and with emotion, suggesting that the courtroom had begun to acquire a more domestic feel: The prisoner also had a little child, just about the age of the little jury-boy: one of the prettiest blue-eyed and flaxen-haired baby-girls that I ever saw, and she was with her mother through the entire trial, running about inside the bar making friends with the lawyers and officers of the court, looking longingly up at the kind-faced judge, but not quite daring to mount the steps of the bench, and then returning to her frightened, black-robed mother, to fall asleep on her breast.

Women's jury service came to an end in 1888 with Bloomer v. Todd, 3 Wash. Terr. 599 (1888). In a long discourse on the importance of stable statutory interpretation, the court invalidated the territorial law granting suffrage to women as a violation of the Organic Act - Washington's founding "charter" as a state. See id. at 619. Though the court found that suffrage formed a necessary prerequisite for jury service, the court nevertheless demonstrated that the right to participate in courtroom proceedings had implications for citizen participation in government that extended well beyond the act of voting.

See Elizabeth Jameson, Women as Workers, Women as Civilizers: True Womanhood in the American West, in THE WOMEN'S WEST 145, 145-46 (Susan Armitage & Elizabeth Jameson eds., 1987). Jameson describes the women's work of the frontier as contributing to an "interdependent economic unit," id. at 150, and concedes that, though women did work, labor remained divided along gendered lines. Men plowed and planted, women raised smaller gardens. Women participated in wage labor, but through traditional acts such as cooking and sewing. See id. at 150-51.

Some scholars have argued that women were granted suffrage in the West not because they agitated for it, but because it proved consistent with the interests of men on the frontier. Moreover, the grant was a conservative one, predicated on the notion that women represented the domestic sphere. In describing the debates over women's suffrage, other scholars contend that a proto-feminist, reformist spirit existed among women of the frontier, rendering suffrage a more radical political guarantee.

Id at 138. Drachman argues that the legal community was even more masculinized than other male-dominated professions. Unlike the medical profession, in which women could assume roles as caretakers, the law "provided no obvious way for women to claim their place." DRACHMAN, supra note 7, at 11.

See id. at 44. In 1870, five women lawyers were reportedly practicing in the United States. By the turn of the century, 20 states had allowed women to join the bar, raising the total of female attorneys to just over 1000. See DEBORAH L.

In her article on women lawyers, Ellen Martin describes three types of state statutes that regulated women's admission to the bar: (1) those that allowed the admission of women voters; (2) those that provided for the admission of male citizens; and (3) those that allowed the admission of persons without specification of gender. See Martin, supra note 5, at 87. Martin notes that most states that admitted women did so under the third type of statute. Nevertheless, many of the states with such statutes appealed to the common law to argue that the lack of gender-specific language did not imply that women could be admitted, finding instead that because women at common law could not hold office, and given that the attorney was an officer of the court, women could not serve as attorneys. States used the common-law disabilities of women, which prohibited them from entering into contracts, to deny them admission as well.

SMITH, supra note 28, at 386, 386-90 (describing the numerous women's clubs, suffrage associations, and social reform networks that enhanced women's civic equality but that nevertheless kept that equality circumscribed in gender-specific, separate spheres terms); see also Jameson, supra note 110, at 156-58. Jameson describes recent studies that have challenged the conventional view of Western women as passive participants in the processes that led to female suffrage across the territories. Yet, though women in the West participated in the Grange and the Farmers' Alliance, Jameson notes that these organizations were unusual among male-dominated groups in admitting women. As in the Eastern suffrage campaigns, Western women formed gender-exclusive groups of their own that, while political, differed from the integrated associations inherent injury service and lawyering inside the courtroom.

In the wake of the Nineteenth Amendment, some states enacted statutes that made jury service for women automatic. Not only did the majority of states not take such action, however, but the Supreme Court did not challenge the validity of excluding women jurors until 1946 in Bollard v. United States, 329 U.S. 187. See Abrahamson, supra note 14, at 264-65. Just as lawyers in Wyoming used peremptory challenges to strike women jurors, in the 20th century, lawyers used the peremptory to exclude women, even after their right to serve had been secured.

The Criminal Jury in Our Time
-
For a discussion of the tension between the "anachronistic" features of the jury and contemporary egalitarian aspirations, see Kate Stith-Cabranes, The Criminal Jury in Our Time, 3 VA. J. SOC. POL'Y & L. 133, 136 (1995). She argues that as the courts have circumscribed the use of the peremptory challenge and as public pressure has built to abolish the unanimity requirement and open the black box of the deliberation room in the name of accountability, much of what is ique about the jury as a legal institution has been lost. See id. at 145.

See id. at 133 ("The truth is that the two sexes are not fungible; a community made up exclusively of one is different from a community composed of both; the subtle interplay of influence one on the other is among the imponderables ... a distinct quality is lost if either sex is excluded." (quoting Ballard v. United States, 329 U.S. 187, 193-94 (footnotes omitted))).

note

In his concurring opinion, Justice Kennedy appeared to be responding to the Court's recognition of the historical role of gender difference in opening the jury to women, characterizing gender difference in contemporary jury deliberations as a form of "prejudice." See id. at 154 (Kennedy, J., concurring in the judgment).
