Gender and Legal History in America Papers ruler
Three of the First Women to Attend the Law Center: Ann Schafer (L'55), Ruth Paven (L'53) and Ellen Sullivan (L'54)

For over twenty years Professors Richard H. Chused and Wendy Webster Williams have taught a seminar in Gender and Legal History in America at Georgetown University Law Center. Their students have produced a wealth of scholarly work that the Law Center is proud to make available for use by other scholars.

The hundreds of papers written in this program cover a large array of subjects in the legal history of gender from the founding days of the Republic through the 1970s. As copyright permissions to duplicate them are obtained, the list of papers available on this site will grow. To browse the collection of available papers, select either the Author Index or the Subject Index. Both indices contain links to summaries of the listed papers.

Copies of unpublished papers in this collection will be made available to any faculty member of a college or university, or to teaching professionals at other educational institutions interested in the legal history of gender in America. They are not available for use by the general public. To obtain a copy of any unpublished paper, please follow the instructions given below. A number of papers in this collection have also been published. The citations for the published works we know about may be found in the Published Papers Index, as well as in the Author and Subject Indices. 

Obtaining Papers: To obtain a copy of an unpublished paper listed on this site, please send a letter via snail mail to Professor Richard Chused at the address displayed below. The letter should be on the letterhead of a college, university or other educational institution and signed by a member of the faculty or a teaching professional. Papers may be used by a student researching for a paper, provided that the request for a copy is generated by a faculty member or teaching professional rather than by the student. Please make sure the letter contains the author, title and year of the requested paper. Also include an email address in the letter. Receipt of requests for copies of papers will be acknowledged only by email. If you have any questions, please send an email to Professor Chused.

Acknowledgement: The Law Center extends its thanks to Ms. Yvone M. Krywyj, Class of 2002, and Charles Boocock, Class of 2003 for devoting many hours of work preparing the initial round of paper summaries for this site.
