Brought to you by Penguin.

Two women a week are killed by a spouse or partner.

Every seven minutes a woman is raped.

The police receive one phone call per minute about domestic violence.

Now is the time for change.

Helena Kennedy forensically examines the pressing new evidence that women are being discriminated against when it comes to the law. From the shocking lack of female judges to the scandal of female prisons and the double discrimination experienced by BAME women, Kennedy shows with force and fury that change for women must start at the heart of what makes society just.

Previously published as Eve Was Shamed.

‘Helena Kennedy has written a chilling exposé of how the law has historically failed women. Taking no prisoners, Kennedy outlines the damage we must undo, and the changes we must make’ Amanda Foreman

‘Fascinating and chilling’ Caroline Criado Perez, author of Invisible Women

Reseñas de la crítica

Stimulating and scary (Jeanette Winterson)
An excellent and forensic takedown... fascinating and chilling... women are being let down wholesale by a justice system designed with men in mind. And almost the worst thing is, it doesn't have to be this way (Caroline Criado-Perez)
An unflinching look at women in the justice system… an important book because it challenges acquiescence to everyday sexism and inspires change (Kirsty Brimelow)
Helena Kennedy has written a chilling exposé of how the law has historically failed women. Taking no prisoners, Kennedy outlines the damage we must undo, and the changes we must make. Eve was Shamed is a necessary book for the #MeToo era (Amanda Foreman)
Passionate and persuasive proof that equal justice is an ideal yet to be achieved. Drawing upon her outstanding career at the defence Bar and of leading reform in Parliament, Helena Kennedy eloquently urges an end to the discrimination and dehumanisation that women suffer in the courts, and in their lives (Geoffrey Robertson QC)
A call to arms, but it is also a whistle-stop tour of the wide-ranging societal and legal changes which have taken place over the last 40 years. The breadth of her book is enormous... In order to explain where we are, Kennedy looks back to where we have come. She does this most powerfully (Sarah Langford)
Justice for women in this country is failing at every point of our interaction with it, for reasons ranging from age-old prejudice to modern austerity... Yet in her rigorous tenacity, her undimmed enthusiasm for the fight, Helena Kennedy spreads the irrational buoyancy of which revolutions are made (Zoe Williams)
A shocking wake-up call, this book will have you demanding justice
if I were to be charged with a crime, I would definitely want Helena Kennedy QC in my corner (Sarah Baxter)
Kennedy… writes with calm authority. Her analysis of how such women fail to conform to what remain white, male ideas about appropriate female behaviour and femininity in court…is incisive (Afua Hirsch)
