How did women get the right to be on a jury?

Women gained the right to serve on juries through a gradual process of legal and social change, primarily in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Advocacy by women's suffrage movements highlighted the importance of women's participation in civic duties, including jury service. The landmark case of Taylor v. Louisiana in 1975 affirmed the right of women to serve on juries, ruling that excluding women violated the 14th Amendment's Equal Protection Clause. As a result, various states amended their laws to include women in juries, reflecting broader societal changes toward gender equality.
