Women Lawyers in Oregon: 140 Years of Success, Synergy, and Surprises
Since 1886, many trailblazing women in Oregon have built successful careers in the legal profession, some with quite unusual paths, especially for their time. As women lawyers formed their own networking organizations, they found synergies, especially in state-wide collaborations. Trudy Allen presents Oregon's history of women in the legal world, including some surprising visibility and achievements, including in the judiciary. Trudy also covers the challenges and ongoing efforts to make lasting progress for women in the field and others from underrepresented communities.
Trudy Allen is a retired lawyer and has served as the historian for the Oregon Women Lawyers Foundation since 1999. When she was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in 1982, she was fortunate to meet several early women lawyers and was inspired to preserve their stories. Since the mid-1980s, Trudy has researched and written several articles for legal publications, tracking trends of women's admission to practicing law in Oregon and their service in the judiciary.
