Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Tort Opinions
«'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»
By rewriting both canonical and lesser-known tort cases from a feminist perspective, this volume exposes gender and racial bias in how courts have categorized and evaluated harm stemming from pre-natal malpractice, pregnancy loss, domestic violence, sexual assault and harassment, invasion of privacy, and the award of economic and non-economic damages.
