Eloise B. Cushing (1887–1977) was an American attorney. She was the first woman to engage actively in the practice of law in Oakland, California.[1] A life-long member of Soroptimist International since joining in 1921,[2] she did the major writing of the organization's first Constitution and By-Laws, which was required to file for the Charter; this document went on to serve as the guidelines for all the national and international Soroptimist clubs.[3] For 47 years, she served as the librarian of the Alameda County Law Library.[4]
