In chapters by experts from diverse backgrounds, the book examines a carefully selected mix of developments including in topical areas such as women’s rights, help and support, stigma, domestic abuse, sentencing, racism, disadvantage, poverty, deviance, labelling, homelessness, stereotyping, missed opportunities, silencing, fairness, prison visits, desistance from crime, unmet needs, and making a difference.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eForeword by Loraine Gelsthorpe; Introduction (Lucy Baldwin); Adopting a Whole-Systems Approach - Why a Women’s Specialist Team Model Makes Sense (Claire Morley and Claire Rushton); Desistance and the Stigma Machine - Being a ‘Good Woman’ (Úna Barr and Natalie Rutter); ‘They Just Didn’t Want to Help Me’ - The Criminalisation of Coerced Women Co-offenders (Charlotte Barlow); ‘Racism is Very Much There’ - Validating Racial Trauma in the Context of Criminal Justice (Monica Thomas and Sinem Bozkurt); A Mother’s Work is Never Done - Mothers Affected by Remand (Isla Masson and Natalie Booth); ‘And Still I Rise’ - Hope, Trauma and Imprisoned Women (Christy Pitfield and Anna Motz); Women’s Experiences of Presenting as Homeless Post Domestic Abuse - Homelessness Policy and Domestic Abuse — The Changing Legislative Context (Kelly Henderson and Yoric Irving-Clarke); ‘There’s Nothing Left, Nothing Left of You’ - Criminalised Women and Trauma (Dr Nicola Harding); ‘It’s Not a Joke — It’s My Life’ (Lucy Baldwin, Abigay Green and Melanie Brown); ‘We are the Ones’: Joining Forces and Creating New Tools for Change - Challenges for Academia, Charities and Practitioners (Kate Paradine); Afterword, Summary and Closing Thoughts (Lucy Baldwin); References and Bibliography; Index.","brand":"Waterside Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48742787514711,"sku":"9781914603426","price":23.75,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9781914603426.jpg?v=1720062826"},{"product_id":"the-female-eunuch-9780007205011","title":"The Female Eunuch","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 50th Anniversary edition of the ground-breaking, worldwide bestselling feminist tract.The Female Eunuch retains that power of transformation; it asserts the possibility of creativity within female experience' GuardianA worldwide bestseller, translated into over twelve languages, The Female Eunuch is a landmark in the history of the women's movement.Drawing liberally from history, literature and popular culture, past and present, Germaine Greer's searing examination of women's oppression is at once an important social commentary and a passionately argued masterpiece of polemic.Probably the most famous, most widely read book on feminism ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e‘A dazzling tract, erudite, outrageous, funny.’\u003cbr\u003eCosmopolitan\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘Brilliantly written, quirky and sensible, full of bile and insight…The best feminist book so far’\u003cbr\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘A dazzling combination of erudition, eccentricity and eroticism.’\u003cbr\u003eNewsweek\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘Intelligent, funny and beautifully written’\u003cbr\u003eVogue\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘Germaine Greer in THE FEMALE EUNUCH converted me to Women’s Lib, as much by her bawdy sense of humour as by the bite of her polemic’ Kenneth Tynan, Observer\u003c\/p\u003e           \u003cp\u003e‘A fine, continuous flow of angry power…terrific polemical force’ Listener\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48863815762263,"sku":"9780007205011","price":10.44,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780007205011.jpg?v=1722269147"},{"product_id":"banning-transgender-conversion-practices-9780774866934","title":"Banning Transgender Conversion Practices","description":"\u003cb\u003eBook Synopsis\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eSurvivors of conversion practices  interventions meant to stop gender transition  have likened these to torture.

Instead, the courts drag defendants, victims, and their friends and family through a confusing and protracted public spectacle.

Volumes exist dealing with sex work and pornographies. Certainly, volumes abound dealing with emerging sexualities in Canada and new sexual freedoms.  This book seeks to do more than tell a story of broad generalities about the law. It forges the links between the history of law and modern iterations of judgments pertaining to that law. Hence the uncomfortable line between Victorian morality (often) and modern regulation, is thematically explored through the book. More modern iterations of sexual regulation in Canada are being deployed and, in this book, the authors explore the interplay between emerging digital technologies and legal regulation. Newer laws in Canada have been drafted to recognize that sexual expression can be a means of violence inherently, and thus an exploration of modern sexual digital expression and its emerging jurisprudence represent a new frontier in the regulation of sex and sexuality in Canada. We explore how legal regulation has responded to these new crimes.  This collection is founded upon the editors’ joint experiences in teaching in law and society programs in Canada. The authors have witnessed cobbled together curriculums which rely upon a potpourri of sources from law, criminology, criminal justice and law and society disciplines. There exists a growing interest from university students and legal scholars alike for a reader in the context of law reform and legal change in respect of sexual politics and movements in Canada, especially in the context of more modern iterations of crime and sexual politics. Furthermore, while this collection is intended to be educational in the main, it will foster broader discussions in the context of legal regulation of sex and sexuality in Canadian jurisprudence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“This innovative and thought-provoking book provides rigorous academic scholarship that creatively combines law and legal studies. It offers doctrinal discussion of law that intersects with theoretical explorations of how judges read issues of sex and critical inquiry into whether the jurisprudence appropriately reads sex and sexuality in its contemporary contexts. The text uniquely broadens consideration how the work of the judiciary is exercised within and through law. It critically explores how law is engaged in creative exposition of judicial rhetoric and reasoning, rendering diverse sexual identities and practices more observable and governable within society.” - Dr. Rebecca Jaremko Bromwich, Carleton University Department of Law and Legal Studies  \/\/ “This ambitious and timely volume sheds light on the developments across a whole range of gender and sexuality-related topics within criminal law.

This is an indispensable and  fascinating addition to the library of anyone interested in gay culture. -- Uli Lenart * Attitude *\u003cbr\u003eJohnson shows how physique entrepreneurs consolidated the power of the gay community in the United States, allowing them to resist the persecution from the U.S. Postal Service amidst the anti-communism of the Cold War. -- Johnny Fulfer and Catherine Cueto * The Economic Historian *\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBuying Gay\u003c\/i\u003e challenges prevailing gay historiography, which has long been dominated by leftist and even socialist 'queer' analyses averse to capitalism and American society itself. . . .

Volume III (âKey Legal Themes in Gender and International Lawâ) provides an overview of the different legal themes that have engaged scholars analysing international law from feminist, women-centred, or gendered perspectives. The scholarship assembled in the final volume (âCritical Movements and Emerging Issues in Gender and International Lawâ) collects work that encourages critical reflections about gendered analyses of contemporary issues in international law.

When it comes to breaking down barriers for women in the workplace, Ruth Bader Ginsburg's name speaks volumes for itselfbut, as she clarifies in the foreword to this long-awaited book, there are too many trailblazing names we do not know. Herma Hill Kay, former Dean of UC Berkeley School of Law and Ginsburg's closest professional colleague, wrote Paving the Way to tell the stories of the first fourteen female law professors at ABA- and AALS-accredited law schools in the United States. Kay, who became the fifteenth such professor, labored over the stories of these women in order to provide an essential history of their path for the more than 2,000 women working as law professors today and all of their feminist colleagues.     Because Herma Hill Kay, who died in 2017, was able to obtain so much first-hand information about the fourteen women who preceded her, Paving the Way is filled with details, quiet and loud, of each of their lives and careers from their own perspectives. Kay wraps each story in rich historical context, lest we forget the extraordinarily difficult times in which these women lived. Paving the Way is not just a collection of individual stories of remarkable women but also a well-crafted interweaving of law and society during a historical period when women's voices were often not heard and sometimes actively muted. The final chapter connects these first fourteen women to the second wave of women law professors who achieved tenure-track appointments in the 1960s and 1970s, carrying on the torch and analogous challenges. This is a decidedly feminist project, one that Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg advocated for tirelessly and admired publicly in the years before her death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The . . . biographies are filled with detail and wrapped in rich historical context.” * The Alcalde *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \"One might assume a book about the first female law professors could be boring.
