Lucy Kramer Cohen

Lucy Kramer Cohen (May 22, 1907 – January 2, 2007) was an American anthropologist and civil servant who worked with her husband Felix S. Cohen on the Indian Reorganization Act and The Handbook of Federal Indian Law, which are both considered landmarks in Native American legal history in the United States. After her husband's death in 1953, she edited The Legal Conscience, a collection of Felix's writings published by Yale University Press in 1960. Initially, Kramer Cohen's contributions to her husband's work were not widely recognized. In 2005, a revised edition of The Handbook of Federal Indian Law was dedicated to Kramer Cohen in honor of her work.
