We are now closed for the Christmas and New Year period, returning on Monday 5th January 2026. Orders placed during this time will be processed upon our return on 5th January.
In 1919, Parliament passed the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act, which removed the barriers for women to enter the legal profession. The very next day, women were appointed as justices of the peace and Helena Normanton applied to start training as a barrister.
Our project – and this book – celebrates a century of women making legal history. Beautifully illustrated by the children who took part in workshops where their classroom was turned into the Houses of Parliament and who visited the Supreme Court for a special chat with Baroness Hale.
