Marie Remington Wing, the daughter of Cleveland Law School founding faculty member Judge F.J. Wing of the District Court, Northern District of Ohio, was involved in fighting for gender equality all of her adult life, first in her work for the Cleveland YWCA and then as director of all branches of New York’s YWCA. Returning to Cleveland in 1922, she enrolled in Cleveland Law School and, while still a student, became the second woman ever elected to the Cleveland City Council. Following her graduation, she continued her advocacy for women and children as Executive Secretary of the Consumers’ League of Ohio, an organization promoting minimum wage guarantees and workplace rights of women and children in industry. From 1937-1953, she served as the first regional attorney for the Cleveland Social Security office and maintained a private practice until 1956.
