Prior to that, I believed that women...; Search Snippet: ...In Employment, Economics, and the Law Symposium Article a Neo- Feminist Assessment of Rape and Domestic Violence Law Reform Aya Gruber... |

As historian Kimberly Jensen writes in the Oregon Encyclopedia, efforts to pass the law in 1884, 1900, 1906, 1908, 1910 and 1912 earned Oregon the distinction of putting the issue up for a vote more times than any...; Search Snippet: ...Bar Bulletin November, 2012 Feature a Century of Suffrage How Women's Right to Vote Changed the Law, the Profession and Politics... |
