The book is an excellent legacy of Madame Justice Bertha Wilson's life as a lawyer, jurist, role model, and task force chair. Hers was a life that made a difference.- Joan Brockman (Canadian Journal of Woman and the Law, Vol 22) Justice Bertha Wilson is an original contribution ... this collection of essays reminds us that all women constitute themselves within conditions of overt and more ambient gender discrimination. Through the lens of one "extraordinary" woman's life, this collection contributes to feminist attempts to develop theories that account for women's capacity for agency, their negotiations, concessions, and transgressions of normative femininity – in short, the relative and shifting constraints and opportunities generated through our interactions with gendered social structures. - Suzanne Bouclin, Faculty of Law, McGill University (Canadian Journal of Law and Society, Vol. 25, No. 2, 2010)
