From Woman Lawyer: The Trials of Clara Foltz -- Online Notes For The Book

These notes and essays supplement the endnotes in Woman Lawyer: The Trials of Clara Foltz, providing additional source material for the facts and interpretations. Some are traditional bibliographic notes, mainly listings of essential references with a few words of critical explanation. But since these are on-line and unconstrained by space limitations, I have also included first person essays on my interpretations of materials, sources that contributed to my thinking generally, and descriptions of people and events that influenced Clara Foltz, but whose stories do not fit with hers, or would extend it unduly.

Some notes embed chunks of text. For instance, the Note on Nineteenth Century Newspaper Publishing has a description of the content of the San Diego Bee over a ten day period during Foltz’s editorship. With a few exceptions, the notes follow the order of the book chapters and assume familiarity with the text itself. The Index cites the on-line material by subject.
