In this book, Sally Penni reviews the 100 years that have passed since the Sex Disqualification Removal Act 1919.
She examines the past, celebrates the present and takes a long look at the challenges still facing women in the legal profession. Talking Law offers wellbeing and career advice in a series of interviews that Sally has conducted with woman and men who are working in the legal profession a hundred years after 1919.
Sally offers a snapshot in time of how far women have come and how far there is still to go.
“This is a fascinating read for anyone working in the law. It gives a personal perspective to those working in the legal profession, many of whom have come from ‘ordinary’ backgrounds, yet have attained career success through hard work and determination. It is people like this who will inspire future generations of lawyers and make the law a much more accessible profession.”
