The day before, the passing of the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act had made it possible, for the first time, for women to enter the legal profession. Marking the centenary of the Act, First tells the story of women in law in their first 100 years of practice. From early campaigners through to the first women solicitors, barristers, magistrates and judges, the book tells the often untold stories of the pioneers, reformers and influencers who paved the way, revealing the barriers they faced, their challenges and triumphs. It offers a unique insight into how women have made their way in a profession still dominated by men and looks ahead to the prospects for women in law in the next 100 years. 650 0 $a Women lawyers $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Women judges $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Sex discrimination against women $x History. $z Great Britain $x History. 650 7 $a Sex discrimination against women $x Law and legislation. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01114381 650 7 $a Women judges. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178081 650 7 $a Women lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01178096 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Broomfield, Katie, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721015228.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB072136B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
