A lifelong smasher of glass-ceilings, Lady Hale is an inspirational figure admired for her historic achievements and for the causes she has championed. As President of the Supreme Court, Lady Hale won global attention in finding the 2019 prorogation of Parliament to be unlawful. Yet that dramatic moment was merely the pinnacle of a career as a pioneering reformer, which saw her become the first woman and the youngest person to be appointed to the Law Commission; the first and only woman to become a Lord of Appeal in Ordinary; and the first woman to serve on the newly created Supreme Court, serving as President from 2017 to 2020. She is interviewed live by Mark Lawson as part of Raworths Harrogate Literature Festival
