Lady Hale is an inspirational figure who is admired for her historic achievements and the causes she has championed. Her story is the subject of Spider Woman. As a young girl from a small school in a small village in North Yorkshire, she pursued a career in law solely because her headteacher deemed her not intelligent enough to study history. Despite this unconventional path, she rose to become the most senior judge in the country.
How did a self-professed "girly swot" navigate a profession predominantly dominated by men? Was it surprising that the perspectives of women and other disadvantaged groups had been overlooked, or that the interests of children had been marginalized? A lifelong advocate for breaking glass ceilings, Lady Hale adopted the motto "women are equal to everything." Her landmark rulings in areas such as domestic violence, divorce, mental health, and equality were her efforts to rectify these issues.
As President of the Supreme Court, Lady Hale gained international attention for ruling that the 2019 prorogation of Parliament was unlawful. However, this dramatic moment was just the peak of a career that saw her hailed as a pioneering reformer.
Wise, warm, and inspiring, Spider Woman explores how the law shapes our world and provides support during crises. It tells the story of how Lady Hale overcame the odds, demonstrating that anyone from similar beginnings can thrive as well.
