On what grounds did Lillie Langtry sue Keens Steakhouse for refusal of service? v?
She had been refused service at the then all-male restaurant. I don’t think equal rights for women was a valid argument in 1905, but she nevertheless sued and won. So how did she win?

I tried extensive searches and there is little detail about the case readily available. We know she was famous, and there is extensive information about her life. We know male-only was only at specific places and was not the norm in 1905. The case was considered extended, but was 1905-1906. We also know that it was not until Faith A. SEIDENBERG and Karen DeCrow, Plaintiffs, v. McSORLEYS' OLD ALE HOUSE, INC., Defendant in 1970 that was very key.

Equal rights was a valid argument, but usually lost in courts.
