Mary Philbrook of Jersey City became familiar with New Jersey law when she apprenticed herself in a local because New Jersey law did not allow women to practice in the state. New Jersey suffragists lobbied the state legislature to pass a bill which eventually resulted in Philbrook's admission to the Bar in June 1895. In Philbrook, who met Alice Paul during a suffrage demonstration, worked throughout her life for equal rights for women, social reform, and world peace.* *Source: Scannell's New Jersey First Citizens, 1917-1918 (Paterson: J.J.
