This exhibition, designed to be of interest to everyone from age 5 to 95, will inform, inspire and may even infuriate! From timelines charting women’s milestones in the profession over the past 100 years, to sharing the incredible stories of some of the ‘firsts’; Photos and historical records combine with art and craft works to document and celebrate the history of women in law, acknowledge the gaps in that recorded history and explore the challenges women in law face today – problems around career progression, representation in certain parts of the legal profession and the continuing marginalisation of women of colour. Learn about the quiet girl from Pollokshields, Madge Easton Anderson, who became the first woman to qualify as a lawyer in the UK in 1920, and Muriel Isabelle Jeffrey who was the first woman solicitor admitted into the Royal Faculty of Procurators in Glasgow in 1924. Do join us in the beautiful surroundings of the RFPG. Please bring your own stories, questions and aspirations – we’d love to hear them!
