Sullivan Ordinance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Sullivan Ordinance was a municipal law passed on January 21, 1908, in New York City by the board of aldermen, barring women from smoking in public. The ordinance was quickly enforced, with Katie Mulcahey arrested on January 22, but was vetoed by the Mayor, George Brinton McClellan, Jr., only two weeks later.
