Opis

A feminist rewrite of tort law cases that reveals gender bias and the law's failure to redress serious harms to women.

Recenzje

'A strong point of this book is that the cases are all relevant and interesting, and each analysis differs enough from the original opinion. Each rewritten judgment makes enough relevant points that it is easy for readers to wish that they had been the actual decisions. Academic librarians, practitioners interested in gender and the law, as well as law students would certainly benefit from reading this book.' Emily Benton, Canadian Law Library Review
