Mabel Watson Raimey (December 12, 1895 – December 1, 1986) was Wisconsin’s first African American female lawyer. Raimey was born on December 12, 1895 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin to Anthony and Nellie Raimey. Since she was light-skinned, there were instances in which Raimey (whether intentional or not) was able to pass in Wisconsin. She was the first African American female to earn a bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1918. She died in her hometown on December 1, 1986.

| - Mabel Watson Raimey (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 12 de desembre de 1895 - Milwaukee, 1 de desembre de 1986) fou una advocada nord-americana. El 1918, Raimey va ser la primera dona afroamericana a obtenir un títol de batxiller per la Universitat de Wisconsin-Madison. Tenia diversos avantpassats blancs i la pell clara, raó per la qual la gent es pensava que era blanca. No havia dit mai que fos negra perquè ningú li havia preguntat. Raimey va ser molt activa en qualsevol organització que impliqués millorar les condicions dels afroamericans a la comunitat de Milwaukee. (ca)

| - Mabel Watson Raimey (Milwaukee, Wisconsin, 12 de desembre de 1895 - Milwaukee, 1 de desembre de 1986) fou una advocada nord-americana. El 1918, Raimey va ser la primera dona afroamericana a obtenir un títol de batxiller per la Universitat de Wisconsin-Madison. Tenia diversos avantpassats blancs i la pell clara, raó per la qual la gent es pensava que era blanca. No havia dit mai que fos negra perquè ningú li havia preguntat. Raimey va treballar inicialment com a educadora al districte escolar de Milwaukee fins que es va descobrir que tenia ascendència negra. Després va ser acomiadada i, mentre treballava com a secretària legal, Raimey va decidir assistir a un programa nocturn de dret ofert per la Marquette University Law School. El 1927, Raimey es va convertir en la primera dona afroamericana admesa per exercir el dret a Wisconsin. La següent dona afroamericana en ser admesa no va ser fins a l'any 1951. Raimey va ser molt activa en qualsevol organització que impliqués millorar les condicions dels afroamericans a la comunitat de Milwaukee. El 1972 es va haver de retirar bruscament a causa d'un ictus greu. El 1984, Raimey va rebre el reconeixement honorífic de la Association of Black Women Attorneys. Va morir l'any 1986 per complicacions derivades d'una pneumònia. (ca)

She was the first African American female to earn a bachelor's degree from University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1918. Raimey initially worked as an educator for the Milwaukee school district until it was discovered that she had Black ancestry. She was fired thereafter and, while working as a legal secretary, Raimey decided to attend an evening law program offered by Marquette University Law School. Unfortunately, the program dissipated by 1924. Nevertheless, in 1927, Raimey became the first African American female admitted to practice law in Wisconsin. Due to few employment opportunities, Raimey continued to work as a legal secretary until she finally got the opportunity to open her own law practice. She abruptly had to retire in 1972 due to illness. She died in her hometown on December 1, 1986. (en)
