Carrie Morrison

Carol Morrison (3 February 1888 – 20 February 1950) was the first woman to be admitted as a solicitor in England and Wales.

She was born in Richmond, Surrey to Thomas Morrison, who worked as a metal broker in Spain and was a company director, and Judith Wakefield Morrison. She graduated from Girton College, Cambridge with First Class Honours, but she was not allowed a degree because she was a woman.

However, in 1922, she was admitted as a solicitor. In 1927, she married fellow solicitor Ambrose Erle Fuller Appelbe, who founded a firm in London that is still active. They later divorced, but she continued to work with him professionally, and worked until her death in Hertford, age 62.
