Description
Silenced Women: Why the Law Fails Women and How to Fight Back A powerful exploration of the ways in which the law is used to silence women, and what can be done to fight back. Jennifer Robinson and Dr Keina Yoshida, leading human rights barristers, examine the cases of women who have been subjected to abuse and harassment, and reveal how the law is being used to curtail their free speech. From the differences in how cases are handled in the UK and US, to the story of Zelda Perkins breaking her NDA against Harvey Weinstein, the authors draw on their own and others' cases to expose the ways in which the establishment seeks to maintain a system that keeps women voiceless. With a brand-new afterword covering recent case studies from around the world, this book is a crucial read for anyone wanting to understand and challenge the status quo.
