[History Hounds] First Women of the Michigan Supreme Court with Rachael L. Drenovsky, Michigan Supreme Court Learning Center.

Although few professional careers welcomed women when they entered the legal field, Justices Mary S. Coleman, Dorothy Comstock Riley, and Patricia J. Boyle opened the doors of the judiciary through their intelligence and tenacity. Learn about their lives and their tenures on the state's highest court during the 1970s-1990s.
