Throughout the month of February, Texas Law is visiting the stories of law school history and historical figures and celebrating the impact they had on the university, on Texas, and on civic leadership in America.
History-Makers: The First Women At Texas Law
March 8, 2021
It’s International Women’s Day and at Texas Law we are reflecting on more than a century of women making their mark on our school and on the world.
Today, women make up more than 50% of law students nationally and organizations such as Texas Law’s Center for Women in Law are central to the law school experience for all students, regardless of gender identity. This kind of parity and opportunity only exists because of remarkable women who insisted on going to law school in eras when it was neither common nor socially accepted.
