A WOMAN ON THE WOOLSACK?
Shall we ever see .a woman Lord Chancellor sitting on the Woolsack and presiding over the House of Lords? asks a London writor. The present Lord Chancellor (Lord Sankey) referred to the -possibility recently. In presenting prizes at Roedean, the. famous girls' school, ho said: "I am not at all sure that one of the girls I am now' addressing may not some day be Lord Chancellor. 5' It is now eleven years since the first woman was called to the Bar. Women have been/eligible to sit in the .House of Commons only a year or two longer, and already Britain has/had a woman Cabinet Minister. It also has women preachers, playing a prominent part in religious life. But women Judges—and the Lord Chancellor is a Judge—are another matter.
