Our design of the book “First 100 years of women in law” (featuring a foreword by a certain Lady Hale) marked the centenary of the 1919 Sex Disqualification (Removal) 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 succeeded in a profession still dominated by men, and looks ahead to the prospects for women in law in the next 100 years.
