Beskrivning
In The Common Law Inside the Female Body, Anita Bernstein explains why lawyers seeking gender progress from primary legal materials should start with the common law. Despite its reputation for supporting conservatism and inequality, today's common law shares important commitments with feminism, namely in precepts and doctrines that strengthen the freedom of individuals and from there the struggle against the subjugation of women. By re-invigorating both the common law - with a focus on crimes, contracts, torts, and property - and feminist jurisprudence, this highly original work anticipates a vital future for a pair of venerable jurisprudential traditions. It should be read by anyone interested in understanding how the common law delivers an extraordinary degree of liberty and security to all persons - women included.

Recensioner i media

'This amazingly comprehensive study of the core ideas and principles underlying the common law leads to some surprising and provocative conclusions. Bernstein makes a compelling argument that, read correctly, the common law clearly provides women the right to say 'no' to unwanted sex and unwanted pregnancy. Erudite and fascinating, steeped in legal history and philosophy and peppered with interesting statistics about injury, social practices, and everything else under the sun, Bernstein's work breathes new life into old legal doctrines with imagination, wit and a love of the law.' Martha Chamallas, Robert J. Lynn Chair in Law, Ohio State University
