Next 100 Years: Women In Law

We are proud to continue the work of the www.First100Years.org.uk national campaign. The First 100 Years is a truly ground-breaking project charting and celebrating the journey of women in the legal profession. It is the UK's first digital museum dedicated to women in law. Launched in 2014, the five-year project began with the aim of creating an online library of 100 stories about women who have shaped the legal profession since the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 paved the way for women to become lawyers to present day. As support from all corners of the profession has grown, The First 100 Years has blossomed into an absolute celebration of women’s role in the profession, with an extensive programme of activities and events planned in the run-up to the centenary of the Act in 2019. Its legacy will be a deep understanding of the past combined with a celebration of today so as to ensure a strong, and equal, future for all women in the profession. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAKOR5CzCDg
