Goesaert v. Cleary was a 1948 US Supreme Court case challenging the Public Acts of Michigan 1945, which limited women’s ability to be a licensed bartender.
After WWII ended, men returned home to find that women were serving in all the roles they left behind, including bartending, & were doing it better. Many states then began to pass laws and acts that went so far as to outright forbid women from holding any role that would essentially grant them working rights, including bartenders.
Valentine Goesaert was having none of this, however. She teamed up with 24 other women & lawyer Anne Davidow to take this all the way to SCOTUS.
