Clara Brett Martin : It took a year for the Law Society to decide that the word 'person' could apply equally to men and women. But it finally did, and I was able to pursue law.

Judge : [Miss Martin is applying to represent the women] You are a lawyer, aren't you, Miss Martin? You're not having one over on me?
Clara Brett Martin : No, your honour. I'm the first female lawyer in all of the British Empire.
Judge : Wow. This could be quite something for you, Atkinson. I will permit it.
Crown Attorney Atkinson : I... object to this, sir.
Judge : Don't be such a poor sport.
