Abstract:
When the Supreme Court of North Carolina ruled in 1944, in the case of State v. Emery, that ten men and two women did not constitute a jury of \"good and lawful men\" within the meaning of Article I, section 13 of the Constitution, it started something. It started the women of the State on a campaign to strike out the Constitution every remaining vestige of discrimination against their sex.
