Here's a 1935 news item about Julia M. Doyle with lots of personal detail, from the Jewish Criterion (a newspaper that is still published in Pittsburgh). The original text is plain text that is not formatted at all. The link to the original online is

Candidacy for Clerk of
Courts
Julia M. Doyle, well-known Pittsburgh attorney, is the only woman candidate for the office of Clerk of Courts of Allegheny County in the Democratic primaries on September 17. This is the second time Miss Doyle has run for this office, having been the choice of the Democratic Party for this place in the 1932 campaign.
Miss Doyle has been engaged in the active practice of the Law since her admission to the Allegheny County Bar in 1931, having graduated from the Pittsburgh Law School, Schenley High and the University of Pittsburgh. It is well known to her many friends that this young lady worked her way through school, and has done almost every sort of work possible, from working in a cake factory to aiding certain professors in the writing of their books on sociology and history.
She has been active in politics since attaining her majority,, having been a Democrat consistently, and has never voted nor registered other than the Democratic ticket. At the same time she is not bound to nor in sympathy with machine politics as such are generally understood to mean. She is known recently by her work as president of the Civil Service Commission of the City of Pittsburgh, which she held during most of the year of 1934. Her record in that capacity was commendable. She is known to have been the youngest person to ever have served in this office. Since her retirement from that post she has spent much of her time defending employees who have been ousted from office while supposedly protected by Civil Service Law."
