An impassioned exposé of the blindness of British justice by Barrister and Queen's Council Helena Kennedy.
"This is a cogently argued examination of how the British legal system, ignores,
downgrades, underrates and discriminates against women ………Kennedy has properly argued
that a profession that practises law and pursues justice must be seen to be just,
reasonable, unprejudiced and open to public scrutiny. Bravissimo!"
Julia Newberger,
Sunday Times.
"A powerful and authoritative polemic……Kennedy cites precedents and incontrovertible
evidence to show how a web of prejudice, privilege and misinformation affects women
in all their dealings with the law……brave, forceful and eloquent. It may even change
things."
Jessica Mann, Sunday Telegraph.
