women, legal issues, Catharine Waugh McCulloch
Elected by an all-male electorate in Evanston, McCulloch became one of the first, if not the first, female Justice of the Peace in the country in 1907. She conducted court in her own home, and she was reelected, serving until 1913. In this pamphlet, McCulloch explains that women can and should be Justices of the Peace in Evanston.
