Abstract
It is great honor and joy to celebrate Mary Ann Glendon’s outstanding contribution to comparative legal studies. Indeed, she is one of the most prominent comparative legal scholars. It suffices here to recall Comparative legal traditions, a successful textbook, written with Paolo Carozza and Colin Pickel, published in four editions, an evergreen in its approach to comparative law. However, to me, Mary Ann Glendon is even much more than that. She is not only a distinguished comparatist, and even a pioneer of this branch of academic study. She is a public intellectual. And—even more relevantly—she is an inspiring woman.

This concept was expressed in a very personal speech that Mary Ann Glendon gave in a workshop for the celebration of her 75th anniversary in Florence, that I had the pleasure to convene at together with my friends and colleagues Paolo Carozza and Andrea Simoncini, with whom I share the privilege of a special friendship with Professor Glendon.
