A pioneering woman who became a judge. "The court over which she presided, however, did not resemble those of her "fellow" judges. Judge Bullock was the "woman judge" of Los Angeles, in charge of a court segregated by sex where "she would serve as a model of Victorian ideals of womanhood for female misdemeanants." The purpose of the L.A. women's court ran parallel to the culture attitudes of the time; "the purity of women and in their vulnerability to the sexual demands of the "stronger" sex provided acceptable reasons for setting aside public spaces where acculturated women could provide protection and guidance to weak and resourceless women." Judge Bullock considered her appointment important, not because of concerns of equality, but rather because she felt women would be better served by a woman judge who could tell the "good girls" from the bad and help them reform their ways."
