And so it was that on 10th May 1922 Ivy Williams, aged 44, was called to Bar by Inner Temple, marking the end of the struggle for equality in the legal profession and opening the door to many other younger women set on a legal career.

Bridget Wheeler draws on family memorabilia and memories as well as archive material to unravel how and why it was that her cousin Ivy Williams became such a pathfinder in the legal world; a member of a uniquely privileged Oxford family whose lives were dedicated to service in various fields she was educated expressly for the legal profession. This book marks the centenary of her call to the Bar.
