Women's Legal Struggles After Violence - Jackson de Neeve - Bog

This book critically examines the systemic disadvantages faced by women who have been victims of violence in the United States, revealing the inadequacies of laws rooted in a patriarchal, sexist, heteronormative, and racist ideology that has permeated the country's legal foundation. Focusing particularly on self-defense laws, the study highlights how these legal frameworks often act as constraints for women attempting to protect themselves from abusers.
