About Women's Bar Association of Illinois:
WBAI was founded in 1914, by nine women lawyers in the Chicago Metropolitan area, to promote the interests and welfare of women lawyers and also to aid in the enactment of legislation for the common good and in the administration of justice. Its earliest efforts revolved around seeking passage of a constitutional amendment to permit women to vote and serve on juries. This was accomplished by passage of legislation in 1939.
