November 20, 2021 Meeting: Don't Forget the Ladies; A Genealogist's Guide to Women & the Law

Judy G. Russell

Presentation

In early America, women were all too often the people who just weren’t there: not in the records, not in the censuses, not on juries, not in the voting booth. The common law relegated women to “protected” – second-class – status and understanding how they were treated under the law provides clues to finding their identities today.
