Hulett, Alta M (1854–1877)

US lawyer who drew up a bill rejecting sex-based discrimination in employment (except in the military and on juries); the Illinois legislature passed it in 1872. She moved to Chicago, spent another year studying law, and ended up at the head of her class (all others being males). In 1873 she became the first woman admitted to practice law in Illinois and had a successful practice during her last few years.

She was born in Rockford, Illinois. As a 17 year old she studied law in a prominent Illinois lawyer's office and soon passed the required examination, but her application for admission to the bar was ignored by the Illinois court.
