She took her degree in 1920: the first woman to be awarded a first in law from Oxford.

Remembering Gwyneth Bebb today. She passed Oxford law finals with first class marks in 1913, but was refused a degree. The CA rejected her claim to become a solicitor, saying only men were "persons" within the legislation. In 1920 she finally became a Bar student. But died in childbirth in 1921.

You bemoan the fact that “no-one paid much attention to what the judgment” in GLP v EHRC said but don’t seem to have read it - the judge dismisses many of the points in your piece. The 10 year old boy argument (see para 38) and more fatally your claim that an art. 8 challenge would succeed (98-100).
