Beskrivning
Bertha Wilson's appointment as the first female justice of the Supreme Court of Canada in 1982 capped off a career of firsts. Wilson had been the first woman lawyer and partner at a prominent Toronto law firm and the first woman appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Her death in 2007 provoked reflection on her contributions to the Canadian legal landscape and raised the question, what difference do women judges make?Justice Bertha Wilson examines Wilson's career through three distinct frames and a wide range of feminist perspectives. The authors evince Wilson's contributions to the legal system in "Foundations," examine her role in high-profile decisions in "Controversy," and assess her credentials as a feminist judge and her impact on education and the profession in "Reflections."This nuanced portrait of a complex, controversial woman will appeal to lawyers, judges, policy makers, academics, and anyone interested in law and women's contributions to Canadian society.
