Josephine Gordon Stuart (1883–1955) was a pioneering figure in Scotland's legal history. Alongside Eveline MacLaren, she achieved the distinction of becoming one of Scotland's first two female law graduates by obtaining an LLB from the University of Edinburgh School of Law in 1909.[1]

Josephine's father was also a solicitor, Joseph Gordon Stuart from Stuart & Stuart WS.[2]

Josephine graduated in the McEwan Hall in 1909.[3]
