A sincere thanks to the Defense Trial Counsel of West Virginia for letting me talk about my grandmother, Lorraine Wall Hurney, at the For Women by Women conference last week. Lorraine was a pioneer who earned her law degree in 1938, and had a long and distinguished career in the U.S. Immigration Service until her retirement in 1969. As shown on the INS website, Lorraine "became the highest-ranking woman in the U.S. immigration service when she accepted the top management position for the INS district that covered Pennsylvania, Delaware, and West Virginia. In the 1930s, as a widow with three young children, she worked while attending law school at night. In 1941, INS hired her as an associate legal advisor and she rose to become an attorney in the General Counsel’s Office before being named district director in 1960. In 1966, she moved to Chicago, where she supervised the district that included Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana. Until her retirement in 1969, she was the only female district director in the country." https://lnkd.in/gBusfXwp
