Ann’s Legal Hero
Rose Heilbronn
Outstanding defence Barrister and Judge. Rose paved the way to equality within law being: the first woman to win a scholarship to Gray’s Inn, first woman appointed silk, first to sit at the Old Bailey and the first woman Gray’s Inn treasurer.
As Heilbronn practiced in the post-war period, a notably challenging time for gender equality, critics believed her success was solely down to the lack of male legal professionals within the sector during war time. Yet post war, Helibronn proved her professional excellence, becoming a decorated legal professional of the highest standard and highest paid; to shatter the glass ceiling.
