Source: "Rather than give Jeanne Chauvin the satisfaction of the being the first woman at the Bar, however, the Paris Council proceeded to admit Olga Petit, a Russian woman married to a lawyer, since she had not been associated with the legislative initiative ... Their [the women's] admission marked a very public defeat for the Bar's claim to sovereignty and independence ..." (Pue & Sugarman)
Article is new enough (moved to main space 1/14) and long enough (> 3,500 characters of narrative), policy compliant, sourced, and Earwig detected no issues (though it may not be working properly since it finds 0.0% similarity). QPQ satisfied. Hooks are short enough and interesting. It is sourced to an off-line book with translation proffered by nominator -- accepted in good faith. QPQ satisfied.
