Summary
Erna Scheffler was not only an exceptional lawyer - as the first woman to serve on the German Constitutional Court, she played a significant role in the shaping of the legal development of the early Federal Republic of Germany - but was also one of the twentieth century's most influential proponents of equality for women. Marike Hansen's intricate study traces the life of this remarkable figure within the context of evolving women's rights in Germany.
