Today marks 95 years since the first female solicitor qualified in England.

Maud Crofts, of the The Priory, Wimbledon Common, made history by being the first woman to pick up her practicing certificate in England.

She was the one of four women to pass the examinations in November 1922.

The milestone was recognised today in a Tweet by First 100 years - an account and webpage that is in the process of building the largest digital library of women in law in order to inspire future generations.

People have been tweeting their thanks to the first female solicitor with one user praising Mrs Croft's bravery which opened the doors for thousands of women around the world.
