The Justice Women [electronic resource] : The Female Presence in the Criminal Justice System 1800-1970
Wade, Stephen2015
eBook
The first policewomen were established during the Great War, but with no powers of arrest; the first women lawyers did not practise until the early twentieth century, and despite the fact that women worked as matrons in Victorian prisons, there were few professional women working as prison officers until the 1920s. Their history includes the stories of the first barristers, but also the less well-known figures such as women working in probation and in law courts.
