From the Baltimore County Union of July 12, 1902
Miss Etta H. Maddox, of Baltimore, has been notified by the State Board of Law Examiners that she has passed the examination for admission to the bar. She is the first woman in Maryland to be admitted to the bar. Miss Maddox graduated from the Baltimore Law School in 1901, but was not eligible for admission until the last Legislature passed the law allowing women to practice law in this State.
