Q. When were women first admitted to Harvard Law School?

Women were first admitted to HLS in 1950 as part of the class of 1953. You can read about the 50th anniversary of their graduation at the Harvard Gazette and profiles of some early HLS alumnae at the Harvard Law Bulletin. A painting of the women from the class of 1953 can be found in the Caspersen Room at the Harvard Law School Library, and is based off of a photograph entitled "First class of female graduates of Harvard Law School."
