It is important to mention the use of statistics. Moreover, Kennedy shares her balanced point of view with a recall of the real-life cases as well as her private cases – these allow an even greater insight. She introduces you to a list of minorities oppressed by the legal system (black women, poor women, women with mental health conditions). Such brief basics will be helpful to a first-year law student since it helps you to approach law in a more rounded way.Īs a feminist, Kennedy does not talk about women in a general term. In the book, she explains the basics of the work of the British law courts, hence I recommend this book to everyone interested in politics, feminism, and to everyone who wants to research the problem of inequality. Helena Kennedy QC (Baroness Kennedy of The Shaws, QC) uses an approachable vocabulary that makes sense to those without legal knowledge. This book will explain to you how the British Justice system fails women. However, Helena Kennedy’s Eve was Framed (Vintage 1993) will show you that prejudice could be stronger than the rule of law itself, bringing injustice to someone who is “below ” – to women. “No man is above the law, and no man is below it…” says Roosevelt, reinforcing the importance of upholding the Rule of Law.
