£8.70£9.50 (-8%)
Two women a week are killed by a spouse or partner. Every seven minutes a woman is raped. Now is the time for change.
‘Fascinating and chilling’ Caroline Criado Perez, bestselling author of Invisible Women
Helena Kennedy, one of our most eminent lawyers and defenders of human rights, examines the pressing new evidence that women are being discriminated against when it comes to the law. From the shocking lack of female judges to the scandal of female prisons and the double discrimination experienced by BAME women, Kennedy shows with force and fury that change for women must start at the heart of what makes society just.
‘An unflinching look at women in the justice system… an important book because it challenges acquiescence to everyday sexism and inspires change’ The Times

At the beginning of 2021 I committed to reading one nonfiction book a month. This was my April read and I have devoured it. I found the book extremely thought provoking and it has made me take a different view about various subjects. It has challenged me to analyse some of my pre conceived ideas and prejudices. They say knowledge is power and I’ve certainly gained some from this book.

At first glance I thought the book was dirty but then realised it was the actual effect.
My daughter asked for this as one of her Christmas presents.
She’s at university, studying law and uses these sort of books as light reading.

Excellent and very accessible book for my daughter who is interested in studying law
