Hart Publishing (an imprint of Bloomsbury) has published Celebrating Women in Legal History: Making and Shaping a Discipline, edited by Lorren Eldridge (Queens' College), Emily Ireland (University of Liverpool) and Caroline Derry (The Open University).
This book champions the work of women in legal history, and their contributions to both the discipline and feminist activism over nearly two centuries.
It considers women in academia, which was, in theory, open to women before they could become lawyers in most European countries. And it considers women working beyond the academy: many studied legal history in other ways; in local history societies, through archival work, and via activism.
