Despite the fact that women have been able to practice law for over a century in principle, few women actually went on to become attorneys because of a number of ongoing practical difficulties. For instance, the conservative family structure did not want women to possess the aggressive, crafty, and tenacious qualities needed to fight in court. They were typically trained to be more submissive and accommodating—qualities that are not highly regarded in the legal industry—in order to succeed or become effective.
However, this image has to be altered since collective empowerment necessitates generosity. To find out how you may support a coworker in overcoming obstacles and navigating their issues, think about bringing them to lunch. By providing advice and sharing networking, mentorship, and other professional growth opportunities, one may also openly encourage and promote female coworkers. “World’s Most Influential Women in Law, 2024” has featured leaders of law like Edyta Kniżewska who believe that there is always space for improvement for leaders, but it takes persistent commitment and a willingness to work hard.
