Called from Within: Early Women Lawyers of HawaiI (A Biography Monograph)
by Mari J. Matsuda
Category: Biography & Autobiography

The 17 women of the Hawaii bar whose biographies are presented lived through, and were involved in, the dramatic changes that brought Hawaii from monarchy to independent Republic to Territory and, finally, to statehood. The introduction by editor Matsuda places the lives of these early women lawyers in the context of Hawaii history, women's history, legal history, and professional history.
