In 1886, she was the first woman to pass both the written and oral sections of the bar exam, but was denied admission based solely upon her gender. It would take a change in the New York law to permit a woman to be admitted to bar. Kate Stoneman was a champion of the suffrage movement and an important figure in womens rights movements.
