Harriett Reid

Harriett Reid, lawyer in Springfield, Ill., from 1920 to 1937 served as an arbitrator on the Illinois Industrial Commission (IIC), a civil service position dealing with workmen's compensation cases. In 1920 the Illinois State Civil Service Commission had refused to hire HR because she was a woman; her friend, Catharine Waugh McCulloch (CWM), helped her fight the decision and win her appointment. It appears that HR gave CWM these papers in the 1940s.
