Brilliant, thought provoking classic December 19, 2007
Gail Hackston
Great book - brilliantly explains the injustices Women and Children suffer in the eyes and practice of the law, to the point where it makes you wonder if there is hope to change. Helena Kennedy's passioned plea on behalf of the illtreated is a call to arms for Liberals everywhere - horrifically as relevant today as when it was first published.

As a student wishing to embark in a career in the law. This book opened my eyes to the incriminating state of british 'justice'. Written in a clear, succinct style, Helena Kennedy excels in a field where many other lawyers would dare to tread. Well worth the read either for those who specialise in the law, or for the layman who should be told that such inadequacies lie in our judicial system.

This book shows an amazing insight into the prejudices and generalisations surrounding the criminal justice system and is a must read for any female pursuing a career in law. Helena Kennedy uses all her experiences to give a true picture of the problems women experience both as defendants and as female lawyers. Well done Helena!

I read this book as part of a reading list for my Law Degree, at the time I was dubious about reading it and approached is as a chore, thank goodness I did. Since that time I have followed Helena Kennedys work even though I did not follow a career in law.She is not making a 'feminist' statement more of a detailed backed up comment on the injustice women receive in law, particulary if you are not in the 'middle - upper class' and young women entering law would be wise to read this to keep you focussed on your goal. This book is and has been a huge inspiration to me throughout my career. Thank you Helena
An accurate and enjoyable review of the English Legal System April 8, 2000
5 out of 12 found this review helpful
Helena Kennedy reviews numerous examples of the treatment of women at the hands of the English Legal system. The result is a highly readable exposition of the reality of the system, while managing to refrain from emotive campaigning. All lawyers should read this book.
