The National Association of Women Lawyers is a voluntary organization founded in 1899 and based in the United States. Its aim is to promote women lawyers and women's legal rights.[1]

History

The group was originally called the "Women Lawyers' Club", and was founded by 18 female lawyers in New York City in 1899.[2][3][4] The organization started publishing the Women Lawyers' Journal in 1911.[5] The group was renamed the "Women Lawyers Association" by 1914, and changed to its current name in 1923.[6]
