Comprising a small handful of students-or even a single student-at the Law School, women were often ignored, and they faced discrimination in obtaining articling positions and legal employment. Most were Protestant, white, and middle-class, and a minority of Jewish, Catholic, Black, and immigrant women lawyers faced even greater challenges. The book also explores some changes, as well as continuities, for the much larger numbers of Ontario women lawyers in recent decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis longitudinal study of women lawyers' gendered experiences in the profession during six decades of social, economic, and political change in early twentieth-century Ontario identifies factors that created-or foreclosed on-women lawyers' professional success. The book's final section explores how some current women lawyers, despite their increased numbers, must remain \"quiet rebels\" to succeed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Jane Mossman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1771125926\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781771125925\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wilfrid Laurier University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/30\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 528\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.30w x 1.70d","brand":"Mary Jane Mossman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46334592418047,"sku":"9781771125925","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_73b5b1fa-352b-49c1-92ca-b7efb20608d0.jpg?v=1731467254","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/quiet-rebels-mary-jane-mossman-9781771125925","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
