Harte, Grace H.

Chicago lawyer Grace H. Harte was admitted to the Illinois bar in 1912. She specialized in real estate law, was a member of the Women Lawyers' Association (WLA), and the Lawyers' Association of Illinois, and president of the Women's Bar Association of Illinois (WBAI). In the 1930s and 1940s, she wrote articles for the WLA publication, the Women Lawyers' Journal. She was active in the WBAI's successful 1930s campaign to make the inclusion of women on juries mandatory and apparently had a special interest in preserving and writing the history of women lawyers.
