Embark on a captivating historical journey, ripe with intrigue with our special guest co-host, Lindsay of https://www.yeoldecrimepodcast.com! Join us, as we traverse through Mary Gysin Leonard's extraordinary life with all its twists, turns, and triumphs. She was a woman whose tale of migration, marriage, and murder is as colorful as it is controversial. From her mystifying origins, her volatile marriage to Daniel G. Leonard, to the shocking turn of events that led Mary to become a prime suspect in her husband's murder, you'll be on the edge of your seat as we unearth the secrets of her life. We explore the court proceedings, the alleged abuse - and the shocking turn of events that had Mary in the spotlight for her husband's murder. We don't shy away from delving into the public sentiment surrounding her eventual acquittal, nor the whispers that hinted at her crime perhaps being justified.
Mary's life took an even more unexpected and scandalous turn after her husband's death. We plunge further into the complexity of Mary's character as we illuminate her fierce fight against the sexist norms of the era. We dive into the legal intricacies of the time and discuss her dynamic role in advocating for women's admission in the field of law. In the heart of Portland, Mary transformed into a defender of the downtrodden and oppressed, while also courting much younger men, stirring quite the scandal in society. We navigate the societal waves she created in Portland with her unconventional lifestyle, career, and relationships. Charting the challenges she faced as Oregon's first female lawyer, we discuss Mary's tireless struggle against the sexism and misogyny of her era. Marvel at her triumphant admission to the bar in November 1885, a victory that lit the path for countless women after her.
