Abstract

Legal professions have historically been banned from women due to the prejudice of their inability to occupy public space. Therefore, there have been no women jurists at any time until the 19th century, when the first women timidly began to study the Law Degree. Although even well into the 20th century, prohibitions remained that prevented them from being Judges, Prosecutors or Notaries. With these prohibitions removed, women have begun to integrate legal professions in a massive way. But the prejudice that expelled them from public life, and that bound them to the home, is still in force, which has determined that, even today, there are numerous equality deficits: few women in judicial high courts, harassment, wage gap.
