Marie Owens, a police widow, was hired by the Chicago Bureau of Police 1893 and given the title (and pay) of “Patrolman.”
Phoebe Wilson Couzins, only the third American woman allowed to practice law, and she became the first female U.S. Marshal in 1887.
Alice Stebbins Wells, a social worker, was hired by the Los Angeles Police Department in 1910 as their first “policewoman” and spent 30 years helping to recruit women into the law enforcement profession.
These pioneers obviously had many common traits, but one of the most important was certainly a willingness to do whatever it took to promote real change. There was no affirmative action, no mandate to hire and promote more women, no lowered standards, no political correctness, no special treatment. In fact, these women and so many like them had to literally create their own jobs, and then very often they had to fight hard to retain them. In other words, they had to actively “buck the system” and just get out there and be “leaders” in a male-dominated world.
