North Carolina's first female legislator was Exum Clement of Asheville, and she represented Buncombe County in the House during the 1921 session of the General Assembly.
Abstract:
Clement opened her own law office in Asheville in 1917 and became the first woman in North Carolina to establish her own firm without affiliation with a male lawyer. She also accepted a nomination to a seat in the North Carolina General Assembly several months before ratification of the 19th amendment, granting women the right to vote.
