Mrs. Bradwell Dead

Eulogy for Myra Bradwell

The death notice of Myra Bradwell from The Daily Inter Ocean serves as an demonstration of how not only her activism, but also her life on the whole, was perceived by the outside world.
This eulogy captures all professional aspects and some personal aspects of Bradwell’s life. In terms of Bradwell’s famous Supreme Court case, this paper sees her fight for women to enter the profession of law as an “effort to obtain recognition at the bar as the co-equal of man.” This suggests an acceptance of her venturing outside of the realm of the Cult of True Womanhood by suggesting the two genders are equal.
The paper also celebrates Bradwell’s various commitments to projects like the aiding the Union effort in the Civil War, the Chicago Legal News, and World Columbian Fair in Chicago.
This eulogy captures just how others also recognized her diverse and tirelessly career to all aspects of activism.
