, 8 Jan 1925, the first all-woman supreme court in the USA meets for the first time in Texas. Hortense Sparks Ward, Hattie Leah Henenberg and Ruth Virginia Brazzil are all appointed to hear a case involving the “Woodmen of the World” fraternal association.

As most of the judges and attorneys in the state were members of the fraternity, they had had to recuse themselves, leading to an all woman court.

Jo Dyer gives an excellent response to The Australian’s Janet Albrechtsen and her repeated attacks on women who dare to speak out. Especially on sexual assault:
“In Janet’s world this means that, despite Janet’s championing the right to free speech in every other forum, a woman is forever forbidden from speaking of her own lived experience, as a man’s right to an untarnished reputation trumps all.”

Tried to post about this twice earlier and managed to post without the link and then attributing the wrong author.
So, I’ve given myself a good talking to and am going to try again.

Jonathan Holmes has written an excellent piece on Murdoch media’s targeting of Louise Milligan. It’s not just the hypocrisy of the attack, but the disinformation involved.

..”Milligan has now found herself under attack, not only in The Australian and on Sky News, but in the Commonwealth parliament, for things she did not say and does not believe.”

Today I addressed the conference.

We must continue to make strides and call for women’s inclusion, participation and representation in all sectors.

Women must take an equal part in shaping policies and laws.

RT @First100years: In London this Easter weekend?

Have a stroll down Parliament Square and visit our exhibition outside the Supreme Court.

The exhibition celebrates the contribution of women to the legal profession and spotlights the four women who reached top of the judiciary. 🙌
