Bertha Wilson's appointment to the Supreme Court of Canada in 1982
capped off a career of firsts. Wilson had been the first woman
lawyer and partner at a prominent Toronto law firm and the first
woman appointed to the Ontario Court of Appeal. Her career and
passing in 2007 provoked reflection on her contributions to
Canadian society and raised the question, what difference do women
judges make? Justice Bertha Wilson examines Wilson's career through
three distinct frames – foundations, controversy, and reflections
– and a wide range of feminist perspectives. Taken together,
these provocative essays paint an intriguing portrait of a complex,
controversial woman who made a deep impression on the Canadian
legal landscape.
