This concluding chapter explains how women's intrusion into male-dominated professions is usually celebrated, and is often seen as a challenge to male hegemony. As a result, when Jane Bolin scaled the professional ranks of the legal profession to become the nation's first African American woman judge, her appointment was celebrated. The press boldly inscribed this event as a first, not merely because she was a woman but more significantly because she was a black woman, and therefore one who was doubly marginalized in the legal profession. However, for decades, Bolin remained suspended in the headlines of her appointment, divorced from any analysis of who she was or the nature of her professionalism. Ultimately, the book aims to go beyond the signification of headlines that consigned Bolin to vignettes of firsts.
