Feast Day of St. Paula the Bearded

According to my most excellent Christmas gift, the Forgotten English Daily Calendar, today is the Feast Day of St. Paula the Bearded, which I gather from today's entry dates back to the 4th century. When I went online to find out more about this, I realized that I missed the Day of St. Hilary ("patroness of lawyers"). (If it's "her" job to keep people from making jokes about lawyers, she's not doing a very good job protecting us.) However, I don't think that particular website is very accurate because I'm pretty sure Hilary was a man (so shouldn't it be "patron"?) and was apparently a Doctor of the church (instead of a doctor of the law).
