Media Reviews
This is a cogently argued examination of how the British legal system ignores, downgrades, underrates and discriminates against women-Kennedy has properly argued that a profession that practises law and pursues justice must be seen to be just, reasonable, unprejudiced, and open to public scrutiny. Bravissima! -- Julia Neuberger * Sunday Times *
A powerful and authoritative polemic-brave, forceful and eloquent. It may even change things * Sunday Telegraph *
A powerful and authoritative polemic-Kennedy cites precedents and incontrovertible evidence to show how a 'web of prejudice, privilege and misinformation affects women' in all their dealings with the law-brave, forceful and eloquent. It may even change things -- Jessica Mann * Sunday Telegraph *
