Gender, Truth And State Power: Capitalising On Punishment (Gender In Law, Culture, And Society)

This volume draws on a wealth of primary source material, the vast majority of which has never been published before, to present a study of women reprieved of murder during the 20th Century. The work highlights the power difference between the condemned and those working within the criminal justice system. This comprehensive examination of such power differences in capital cases during the first half of the 20th century provides an important history to such modern cases.
