- Description
- Collection of speeches and other writing from Catharine Alice MacKinnon (1946), American feminist, scholar and lawyer. In this book, the author argues that the right seemingly minor interventions in the legal realm can have a butterfly effect that generates major social and cultural transformations. The pieces collected here provide a new perspective on her career as a pioneer of legal theory and practice and an activist for women’s rights. Its central concerns of gender inequality, sexual harassment, rape, pornography, and prostitution have defined her intellectual, legal, and political pursuits for over forty years. The selections all share the same motivation: to end inequality, including abuse, in women’s lives.

- Description
- This collection brings together previously uncollected and unpublished work in the national arena from 1980 to the present, defining her clear, coherent, consistent approach to reframing the law of men on the basis of the lives of women. By making visible the deep gender bias of existing law, MacKinnon has recast legal debate and action on issues of sex discrimination, sexual abuse, prostitution, pornography, and racism. The essays in this volume document and illuminate some of the momentous and ongoing changes to which this work contributes: the recognition of sexual harassment, rape, and battering as claims for sexual discrimination: the redefinition of rape in terms of women?s actual experience of sexual violation: and the reframing of the pornography debate around harm rather than morality. The perspectives in these essays have played an essential part in changing American law and remain fundamental to the project of building a sex-equal future.
