Areas explored include property, inheritance, adoption, marriage, access to health care, criminal law, employment opportunities, pay, pensions and political representation. It also examines campaigns by key women's organisations, and assesses the impact of early women lawyers and politicians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile some of the landmarks effected change during this period, others provided the foundation for measures in later decades. Together the landmarks demonstrate that far from being a relatively quiet period of British feminism, the interwar period played a key role in ongoing fights for recognition, representation and justice.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosemary Auchmuty\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1509969764\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781509969760\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Hart Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 312\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.65d","brand":"Rosemary Auchmuty","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48217437143295,"sku":"9781509969760","price":58.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c1c4c0a7-aa1d-4abe-ab1b-0f0cf303f63d.jpg?v=1771997210","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/womens-legal-landmarks-in-the-rosemary-auchmuty-9781509969760","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
