Florence Allen, American Federal Judge

Florence Ellinwood Allen (March 23, 1884 - September 12, 1966) was an American judge and activist. She was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, and received her commission in 1934. She was the first woman to serve on a state supreme court and one of the first two women to serve as a United States federal judge.
