Attorney.
She received a BA from Wellesley College in 1952 and graduated from George Washington University Law School in 1955.

Admitted to the bar in 1955, Frohman served as Assistant United States Attorney for the District of Columbia (only the eighth woman to do so since the position's inception in 1789.)

After she retired from that post in 1991, Frohman continued to practice on a pro bono basis, providing legal services for the homeless and for abused and neglected children. She received a D.C. Bar award for her service.

She was a part of many legal organizations including the Women's Bar, the Bar Association of the District of Columbia and the D.C. Bar. She was President of the D.C. Chapter of the U.S. Federation of Business and Professional Women and a member of the D.C. Commission of the Status of Women.

She was an active parishioner of the Catholic Church of the Annunciation in Washington, which was designed by her father, Philip Frohman, a noted church architect.

She is buried in the Woodlawn Cemetery plot of her paternal grandparents, theatre producer Gustave Frohman and singer/writer Marie Hubert Frohman.
