Description
This page from the Commercial Agency Register in Chicago, Illinois from 1878 shows the Chicago Legal News as a commercial agency with Myra Bradwell listed as president.
At a time when a woman’s property rights were barely existent, to have the company in her own name was a major accomplishment. As shown in the register, she was also able to sell stock of her company and keep those profits, as well.
This further illustrates the strides Bradwell set in employment and business for women.
