Dorothy McCullough Lee (April 1, 1901 – February 19, 1981) was an American politician and attorney in the U.S. state of Oregon. She was the first female mayor of Portland, Oregon; she also served in the Oregon Legislative Assembly, on the Multnomah County Commission, and on the United States Parole Commission. ==Early life== Dorothy McCullough was born in Oakland, California, on April 1, 1901. She was the only child of Flora Hill and Frank E. McCullough, who became a rear admiral in World War I. Her early life involved a great deal of travel including Hawaii, the Philippines, Japan, China, Guam, and much of Europe. When her father was stationed in Washington, D.C., as assistant surgeon general she sneaked out at night to listen intently to the suffrage debates in Congress.〔 Her formal education was limited until she entered Rogers High School in Newport, Rhode Island, where she graduated at age 16. She was determined to become an attorney (against her parents' wishes). She earned a B.A. during her prelaw education from the University of California, Berkeley, in the spring of 1921 and a J.D. degree〔 at the same institution in June 1923. She was admitted to the State Bar of California in January 1923 and practiced law in San Francisco until July 1924. She married William Scott Lee on June 11, 1924, and moved to Portland, Oregon, where her husband, a chemical engineer, became an executive for the Standard Oil Company. McCullough Lee was admitted to the Oregon State Bar in October 1924 and began a small private legal practice in December. In 1931, McCullough Lee and Gladys M. Everett created Oregon’s first all-woman law firm, opening their firm in Portland’s Failing Building.
