Description

Law and Violence Against Women: Cases and Materials on Systems of Oppression Beverly Balos ISBN 9780890895672

"This book provides a compelling historical perspective on how women have been perceived in the Western world and how these perceptions are evolving—though often more slowly than they should. Balos and Fellows illustrate how various forms of violence and oppression against women—such as domestic abuse, sexual harassment, rape, prostitution, and pornography—are interconnected. Each form of oppression not only reinforces the others but collectively amplifies harm and exerts greater control over women, while reflecting and perpetuating broader systems of classism, racism, sexism, ableism, and heteronormativity. This text is an invaluable resource for courses on women and the law, gender and the law, or societal and legal control mechanisms." — Domestic Violence Report

"This book’s relevance extends beyond courses on violence against women. It is well-suited as a primary text for classes on women and the law or feminist theory and serves as a rich resource for courses in constitutional, criminal, employment, or family law. Its extensive bibliography offers an excellent foundation for supplementing the law school curriculum, particularly in areas often underrepresented in traditional coursework." — Clinical Law Review: A Journal of Lawyering and Legal Education
