Today marks 95 years since the first female solicitor qualified in England.
Maud Crofts, of the The Priory, Wimbledon Common, made history by being the first woman to pick up her practicing certificate in England.
She was the one of four women to pass the examinations in November 1922.
England's first woman solicitor was Mrs Crofts, The Priory, Wimbledon Common. Mrs Crofts was the daughter of a barrister and was educated at Girton and served her articles in a London office.
The milestone was recognised today in a Tweet by First 100 years - an account and webpage that is in the process of building the largest digital library of women in law in order to inspire future generations.
