Story
Bertha Wilson and Claire L’Heureux-Dubé were the first women judges on the Supreme Court of Canada. Their 1980s judicial appointments delighted feminists and shocked the legal establishment. Polar opposites in background and temperament, the two faced many identical challenges. Constance Backhouse’s compelling narrative explores the sexist roadblocks both women faced in education, law practice, and in the courts. She profiles their different ways of coping, their landmark decisions for women’s rights, and their less stellar records on race.

Story
Bertha Wilson et Claire L’Heureux-Dubé ont été les premières femmes juges à la Cour suprême du Canada. L’une représentait le Canada anglais, l’autre le Québec. De milieux et de tempéraments opposés, les deux femmes ont affronté des défis similaires. Leurs nominations judiciaires dans les années 1980 ont ravi les féministes et bousculé l’establishment juridique. Constance Backhouse plonge ici au cœur des obstacles sexistes que les deux femmes ont affrontés en éducation, en pratique du droit et dans les cours de justice.
