Until the late 20th century, women were frequently not included and also able to to opt of jury duty.

Listen to this week’s episode where we dive into the history of women in juries. We discuss the influential cases along the way, including the case of Duren v. Missouri featuring pre-Supreme Court RBG and the case of Gwendolyn Hoyt v. Florida. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_United_States_juries https://www.oyez.org/cases/1961/31
