Eve Was Framed: Women and British Justice [Paperback]

"This is a cogently argued examination of how the British legal system ignores, downgrades, underrates and discriminates against women."
--"Sunday Times"

'This is an important book-it will make a substantial difference' Financial Times

Eve Was Framed offers an impassioned, personal critique of the British legal system. Helena Kennedy focuses on the treatment of women in our courts - at the prejudices of judges, the misconceptions of jurors, the labyrinths of court procedures and the influence of the media. But the inequities she uncovers could apply equally to any disadvantaged group - to those whose cases are subtly affected by race, class poverty or politics, or who are burdened, even before they appear in court, by misleading stereotypes.
