This article uncovers a women's legal association striving for bar admission and juror eligibility in Russia, highlighting its significance in the feminist movement.
The article presents the history of the creation and functioning of an association unknown to historians, which formed in St. Petersburg of women with higher legal education shortly before the fall of the Russian Empire. It arose as a feminist one and aimed primarily at winning for Russian women the right to work in the legal sphere, which was prevented by the then govern-ment. Attention is drawn to the leaders and opponents of the organization, and its composition, structure and methods of work are described. The main directions of the association’s activities are studied, which primarily included the struggle for the admission of women to the bar and to serve on juries. Questions about the role of the association in the women’s movement, its iden-tity and identification are considered.
