In the late 19th century, Lavinia Goodell became the first woman licensed to practice law in Wisconsin, despite objections from the state's Chief Justice that a woman's "delicacy and emotional impulses" made her unsuited for a legal profession. Join Chief Justice Shirley Abrahamson, playwright and director Betty Dimond, and five cast members from "Lavinia" as they highlight scenes from a commissioned drama about an inspiring pioneer. See http://bartelltheatre.org/2015/lavinia/ for information about the Madison premiere of the play.
