Thank you today for Cora Agnes Benneson, introduced: "Cora Agnes Benneson was a late-19th and early-20th century American attorney. She was one of the first women to open her own law practice in New England, a member of several organizations, including the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and an accomplished writer and lecturer. Benneson was also a complicated figure; she held nativist beliefs and her feminism saw marriage and raising children as natural for women (although she herself never married nor had children)."! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 07:03, 17 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
