Mary E. Law's Campaign for School Board Member, 1898

Law, Dr. Mary E.

Dr. Mary E. Law campaigned for a position on the school board of Toledo, Ohio in 1898. Although Law received a fair number of votes, she was not elected. It would be another six years before a woman would be elected to the school board, Pauline Steinem, in 1904. Mary Law and her sister, Emma Law, ran the Law Froebel Kindergarten Training School in Toledo.
