Dame Margaret Myfanwy Wood Booth, DBE (11 September 1933 – 1 January 2021) was a British judge.
Her father was told by a cousin in the early 1950s, "Don't put your daughter in to law; there is no place for women in the law" but the family ignored this and Margaret Booth was called to the Bar in 1956 after studying law at University College London, having won a scholarship from Middle Temple.
Like her predecessors, Elizabeth Lane and Rose Heilbron, she was assigned to the Family Division.
She was awarded an honorary LLD by the University of Liverpool in 1992, and served as the Vice-President of its Council from 1996 to 1999.
She was president of the National Family and Parenting Institute in which role she was deeply critical of the way in which family courts fell short of the mark, considering Britain to be decades behind other countries.
