Feminized Justice

Glassbeek's book is an important addition to feminist colloquy as well as feminist inquiry...[a] comprehensive and insightful explanation of how and why a path paved with good intentions became a dead end.

Tamara Myers, Department of History, University of British Columbia:
Explor[ing] contradictions emanating from this experiment in gendered justice ... Glasbeek interprets the agency wielded by women in conflict with the law and puts to rest any remaining notion that women received a gendered, chivalric kind of justice.

Lori Chambers, Women’s Studies, Lakehead University:
An original and important contribution to existing literature on feminized justice. Not only does the author explore records that have been inadequately examined in the past, she also offers new theoretical insights into these sources.
