The project is looking for supporters to enable us to create a digital platform of 100 original stories featuring women who have shaped the legal profession since the Sex Disqualification (Removal) Act 1919 paved the way for women to become lawyers.

For £50 your name would be entered into our Digital Donors’ Wall.

Thank you!
