A 'fearless' solicitor who drove round Manchester in a double-decker bus telling Donald Trump to go home has died, aged 74.
Mary Monson passed away last Saturday, March 26, in Spain, after a short illness. Born in London to two Irish immigrant parents, Mary moved to Manchester in 1975 to begin a career in law, quickly finding herself the object of “old-fashioned sexism”.
As soon as she’d completed her legal training Mary founded her own firm, despite not having any experience running her own business, to break away from the men asking why she didn’t “dress sexy” in the office and to kick start her career in her own way. She was quickly plunged into the world of Salford Magistrates Court, becoming struck by the sheer poverty and doing her best to tackle it.
