About the Authors
  • 'Is it possible to be both a judge and a feminist?' Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Criminal Law Opinions answers that question in the affirmative by re-writing seminal opinions that implicate critical dimensions of criminal law jurisprudence, from the sexual assault law to provocation to cultural defences to the death penalty. Right now, one in three Americans has a criminal record, mass incarceration and over-criminalization are the norm, and our jails cycle through about ten million people each year. At the same time, sexual assaults are rarely prosecuted at all, domestic violence remains pervasive, and the distribution of punishment, and by extension justice, seems not only raced and classed, but also gendered. We have had #MeToo campaigns and #SayHerName campaigns, and yet not enough has changed. How might all of justice look different through a feminist lens. This book answers that question.

    • The only book to reimagine seminal U.S. criminal law opinions through a feminist lens
    • Introduces readers to the range of feminist approaches and includes cases involving the intersection of gender, race, class and nationality
    • Brings together prominent criminal law scholars, while also showcasing new voices on criminal law and gender

    Reviews & endorsements

    'This book is an ambitious project that absolutely succeeds. … Highly recommended.' C. Shortell, Choice

    ' The book provides a real engagement with and focus on intersectional and postcolonial feminism and is noteworthy in this regard.' Anne Carline, Journal of Law and Society

    'In this book, this broader historical, social, and legal context is well articulated in both the commentaries and the rewritten opinions, with the contributors making use of an array of data and materials that do the significant work of elucidating the material impact of law on women's lives.' Anna Carline, Journal of Law and Society
