Fight for Equal Rights for Texas Women Stirs Austin
In a fiery debate sparked by law reforms supporters including Mrs. Hermine Tobolowsky and Senator Wardrow Lane, advocates press to widen Texas women’s rights. They seek constitutional changes and 44 state law revisions backed by the Texas Federation of Professional and Business Women and the Texas League of Women Voters, while some women fear unnecessary radical shifts. The long campaign for equal treatment, starting with jury service in 1921 and evolving through decades, faces mixed opinions among prominent lawyers, lawmakers, and columnists.
