- Description
- In this publication, the author draws upon four years of on-the-ground research in a major US women's prison to uncover why tougher drug policies have so greatly affected those incarcerated there, and how the very nature of punishment in women's detention centers has been deeply altered as a result. Through interviews with prisoners and state personnel, she reveals that popular so-called ‘habilitation' drug treatment programs force women to accept a view of themselves as inherently damaged, aberrant addicts in order to secure an earlier release.

- Description
- This collection brings together eleven essays--eight previously published and three new--that document the evolving relationship between academic feminism and political feminism as Freedman has studied and lived it. .Following an introduction that presents a map of the personal and intellectual trajectory of Freedman's work, the first section of essays, on the origins and strategies of women's activism in U.S. history, reiterates the importance of valuing women in a society that has long devalued their contributions. The second section, on the maintenance of sexual boundaries, explores the malleability of both sexual identities and sexual politics. Underlying the collection is an inquiry into the changing meanings of gender, sexuality, and politics during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries along with a concern for applying the insights of women's history broadly, from the classroom to the courthouse

- Description
- Description of the different ways in which lives of LGBT individuals in the US are criminalized, policed, and punished. The authors describe queer criminal archetypes, such as 'gleeful gay killers', 'lethal lesbians', 'disease spreaders', and 'deceptive gender benders'. They explore the punishment of queer expression, regardless of whether a crime was ever committed. The authors argue that the policing of sex and gender both bolsters and reinforces racial and gender inequalities.

- Description
- The author describes the contemporary experiences of women in prison within the context of the increase in incarceration of specific U.S. populations in the last three decades of the 20th century. She argues that the socially structured conditions of class, race, and gender in the context of globalization, unemployment, and the prison industrial complex help to explain the findings.
