Gender And Justice: The Experience Of Female Lawyers In Indiananapolis, Jessica Louise Nelson
Undergraduate Honors Thesis Collection
"Gentleman M.B". is recorded in United States history as far back as 1638, and was a successful landowner, local leader, and attorney to the governor.

Support for this argument is accomplished by examination of the national debate on marriage bars as well as careful investigation of the local debate illustrated in Huntington, West Virginia.
