The book illustrates Rosanove’s courtroom prowess and political advocacy, arguing for systemic reform and equal representation at the Bar. It details her personal and professional battles, from early struggles for recognition to her eventual triumph as a legal icon. More than a portrait, it stands as a testament to the transformation of Australian jurisprudence through the determination of one extraordinary woman.
