| Summary: | This article aims to analyse the gender prejudices and biases encountered by women in the justice system – lawyers and defendants – in the virile space of the courtroom, where legal, linguistic, and social "codes" are masculine and those who judge ought to be men. Based on the empirical case of the Tunis criminal court from the turn of the 1910s-20s to the 1940s, we explore the prejudices and biases encountered by female lawyers and defendants either in entering the courtroom or within it during debates and convictions. Our approach treats these prejudices and biases relationally, in articulation with the agency of these women and the context of coloniality. |
