Women Lawyers Register a Kick at Convention
CHICAGO. Delegates at the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's biennial convention heard a paper by Mrs. Laura Harris of Casper Wyoming arguing women must educate themselves to patronize and support female lawyers. Harris, likely the only woman legal adviser to a state senate, said without backing among women a feminine United States president remains unlikely. Other speakers cited reasons women do not patronize women in law, including the notion that feminine clients seek cut-rate service. Lydia Lee of Missouri noted property owning women inherit and know little about managing it.
