Cabinet of American Illustration (CAI—Gibson, no. 23 [C size]). Prints and Photographs Division. LC-USZ62-46321<br />Women were virtually nonexistent on juries in 1902 when Charles Dana Gibson, creator of the famous “Gibson Girls,” drew this caricature for Life. On rare occasions, however, women were called to serve in cases that involved female defendants. Despite the fact that juries are selected from voter rolls and the passage of the Nineteenth Amendment qualified women as “electors,” the states did not immediately pass legislation to include them for jury selection. As late as 1942 only twenty-eight state laws allowed women to serve as jurors, but these also gave them the right to claim exemption based on their sex. The Civil Rights Act of 1957 gave women the right to serve on federal juries, but not until 1973 could women serve on juries in all fifty states.<br /><br />John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-90340853064839930002014-06-14T10:39:32.605+00:002014-06-14T10:39:32.605+00:00This may sound like a silly question ... but why a...This may sound like a silly question ... but why are there no women on the jury?sarah toahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12412812914705725798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-10924494788362318342014-06-14T07:49:46.486+00:002014-06-14T07:49:46.486+00:00Thanks for your concern, Mb, but I don't know ...Thanks for your concern, Mb, but I don't know ANYONE!
