Review Quotes: "Smart, insightful, and important, this book proves that the criminal justice system does not treat all persons equallythat the reasonable man is a man, and that men get away with murder, while women pay with their lives. Must reading for students of the law, gender studies, and all those who care about equal justice."--Susan Estrich, Robert Kingsley Professor of Law and Political Science, University of Southern California, and author of Real Rape, Getting Away with Murder: How Politics is Destroying the Criminal Justice System
