Abstract

In this first issue of 2019, and before I introduce the contents of the issue, we mark the end of Ruth Fletcher’s five-year term as Academic Editor of Feminist Legal Studies (FLS). Ruth has had a significant impact on the direction of the journal over the course of her tenure and it is an intimidating prospect to step into the role after her. Ruth is a scholar of the highest calibre and integrity and her vision and passion for FLS has changed it irrevocably. Over the course of her tenure as Academic Editor the journal has increased its download rate by nearly 60 per cent and almost doubled its impact factor. Central to Ruth’s vision for FLS when she took on the role of Academic Editor in 2014 was to make the journal a space in and through which feminist scholarship, activism and organising could meet. Many of her achievements over the last five years illustrate how successful she has been in realising that vision.
