New York 's2woman lawyers-and there
are many of 'them-hankered after mem
bership in the men s organization, but
that was all the good it did them. One
or two Portals had friends in the asso-
citation brave enough to- propose their
names. But this exclusive society did
not want any women, so their names
were rejected. Now they do not care
about it, for they have bar associa-
ton Of their own. It is still very young,
but it is going to be great power in
the law. Miss Gabrielle S. Mulliner,
one of the charter members, and a mem
Der of the board of directors, said to-
day: - . u = 5 .>s-..>ZI.,
"The Women IS Bar association is still
in a somewhat chaotic state. We are
only just incorporated. Our officers
have not yet been elected, and
"a meeting has not yet been called.
But in few, weeks we expect
to have the plans well under way.
The association, has been incor>.
porated for the need of organization
among the women lawyers. There are
sixty Or seventy women admitted to the
bar practicing law here in New York.
1t is obvious that cooperation among
1872 them would be of considerable profess
sional advantage to them. In way,
our move is epoch-making. We have
ton in the world 1t could be done
nowhere but in this city. We have
more women lawyers here than in any
one place. There are girl lawyers,
maybeE one or two to town, scattered
. thruout the west, but you never find
them in such considerable numbers as
here"
