Jack Balkin (Yale), The Most Cited Women in American Legal Scholarship:

This is my very rough attempt at a list of the most cited women in American legal scholarship today. It looks at citation counts on Westlaw between 2013 and 2017. ...

Balkin lists the 32 most-cited women.  Here are the Top 10:

	Name	School	Citations	Age in 2018
1	Reva Siegel	Yale	1340	62
2	Michelle Alexander	Union	1030	50
3	Judith Resnik	Yale	1000	68
4	Deborah Rhode	Stanford	980	66
5	Martha Nussbaum	Chicago	930	71
6	Lee Epstein	Washington U.	840	60
7	Martha Minow	Harvard	820	63
8	Jody Freeman	Harvard	800	54
9	Catharine MacKinnon	Michigan	780	71
10	Rachel Barkow	NYU	775	47

I should also add that although Kathleen M. Sullivan, the former dean of Stanford Law School, is now in full-time law practice, she has 665 citations between 2013 and 2017, which would place her 13th on the list.
