Introduction

It was an ordinary day when Mary Lincoln, widow of Abraham Lincoln, answered a knock on her door that would change her life forever. Ten years after the assassination of her husband, six years after her friend Myra Bradwell was denied admission to the Illinois Bar, and five years since the Great Chicago Fire, Mrs. Lincoln received a warrant ordering her to appear at court that same afternoon.
