She took the law into her own hands
Written for younger readers, "Strong-Minded Woman" provides an
engaging look at the life of Lavinia Goodell, Wisconsin's first
female lawyer. Telling Goodell's story from 1858, when she first
decided to become a lawyer, to her place as an actual attorney in
the courtroom, Mary Lahr Schier recounts Goodell's hard work and
determination as she taught herself the law.
Born in 1839 to abolitionist and transcendentalist parents,
Lavinia Goodell grew up determined to change the world. As she met
the runaway slaves that stayed at her childhood home and listened
to the preaching of her church, Lavinia began to form her own ideas
about the world. She decided to be a lawyer, even though her sister
told her to stop "trying to be a man."
