Product Description

Product Description

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must for any female in Law or in fact business, 31 Jul 2001
By A Customer
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

5.0 out of 5 stars Changed my outlook on the British legal system, 21 Nov 1999
By A Customer
This book is one i think every budding young lawyer (especially female) should read. It highlights the injustices women suffer at the hands of the law in a consistent and well argued manner. This is not the work of a paranoid feminist, Kennedy quotes and gives details of numerous cases which make her argument totally believable. This has got to be one of the most important books i've ever read, it's a shame it hasn't received the good publicity it deserves.

5.0 out of 5 stars Eve was framed, 21 Nov 2005
By A Customer
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.
