THREE BRIGHT WOMEN,
Who Hail from tho Golden Gate City-Fa'
nous in the Business World.
Women who make $4,000 a year are
not common anywhere, but San Fran.
cisco can boast Of at least three whose
annual earnings reach that mark.
Business and professional women may
be roughly divided into two classes
those who have struggled and fought to
obtain footing and those who have
seemingly dropped into some lucrative
position byforceof circumstances rather
than by any particular efforts OF their
own,
To the latter class belongs Mrs. Juana
Achey Neal, who presents the rare but
gratifying spectacle of woman sought
by the business world. She is native
OF Dayton, o., and her husband was for
many years medical examiner for var
ious insurance companies. After be-
coming widow Mrs. Neal moved to
Los Angeles with her seven children.
About three years ago the manager oil
one Of the most important insurance
companies approached her to increase
the already large policy she carried
upon her life. She expressed herself
very enthusiastically concerning insur-
ance for women, concluding with the
remark, II really think | would mako q
good agent myself"
Within week che received liberal
inducements from three large com
panies, but for nearly year modest
doubt OF her ability deferred her from
accepting them. Finally. hesitating no
longer, she came to San Francisco at q
salary OF $4,000 year, but had been
only four months with one company
when another offered her better terms
and she accepted them. A few months
ago the first company increased their
offer to $4,000 year and Mrs. Neal
returned once more to their service.
Within the last two months she has
moved her headquarters to Chicago,
where she occupies magnificent suite
OF offices in the Woman's Temple. She
is a handsome, dignifled woman and a
fluent speaker. She is of the brunette
type, with fine dark eyes and hair, and
dresses remarkably well.
Clara Foltz, the we'll known lawyer,
ID another San Francisco woman whose
income reaches the $4,000 limit I'm
like her predecessor, the "Portia Of the
Pacific, she went through a hard and
exhausting struggle to obtain her pro.
fesslon and present standing, for abe is
one Of the Eve female lawyers admitted
to practice before the supreme court.
While yet young girl, anoted phrenol.
ogist seeing her walking across the
room exclaimed: There that girl Is
cut out for a lawyer; every movement Is
characteristic"
After her marriage the many legal
troubles in which her husband became
involved attracted her attention to the
law as affecting married women. Later
on, when she found herself alone, pen
niless and with Ave children dependent
upon her, she began her legal studies In
earnest. Everyone will remember how
she compelled the law school to admit
her TO their lectures, got the Legislature
at Sacramento to modify the state con
stitution 60 as to permit women to fol-
lowany legitimate calling orproteSsion
and finally was received at the bar.
