We missed this one yesterday!

100 years ago today, on 10 May 1922, Ivy Williams became the first woman admitted to the Bar of England and Wales.

Armed with five degrees, including two masters and a doctorate, she topped her bar examinations.

Her admission was described at the time as "one of the most memorable days in the long annals of the legal profession".

Her practice was focused around access to justice, offering low cost and pro bono services to those who otherwise would not have access to a lawyer. Though some say she did not practice, the evidence does point that she did.

An accomplished academic, she taught at Oxford University for 25 years, and in 1930 served as the UK delegate to the Hague conference for the Codification of International Law.

As she aged her eyesight declined, so she learned to read Braille and then wrote a Braille primer which was published by the UK Institute for the Blind in 1948.

The Rt Hon Baroness Heather Hallett
DBE PC QC, the first woman to head the Bar of England and Wales and a retired judge of the UK Court of Appeal, described Dr Williams as a hero and:
"If the legal profession, and the judiciary drawn from it, are to continue to command the confidence of the public, they must properly reflect the society they serve, preferably at every level.

"It takes pioneers such as Williams to make this happen.

"I hope there will be a growing and continuing stream of others like her ready to fight the good fight."
