Abstract
Justice Bertha Wilson did not self-identify as a feminist, and yet there is much in her judicial decisions, writing, speeches and life to indicate great solidarity with feminist principles. This paper explores Justice Wilson’s uneasy relationship with the feminist movement and considers the influence of different generational cohorts on the shaping of feminist identities among Canadian lawyers and judges.
