Description
'Women and Justice for the Poor is an exciting and timely intervention into work on lawyering in
the United States. Batlan establishes the deep relevance of ideas about gender and race to the
history of law and legal practice through ambitious research, provocative analysis, and engaging
narrative.' Martha S. Jones, Arthur F. Thurnau Professor, University of Michigan'By tracking legal
aid through the winding corridors of urban social institutions, Batlan gives us evocative insights
into gender, reform, capitalism, and lawyering in a cogent and fascinating historical account. Her
erosion of lay and professional boundaries, demonstrated by women's contribution to legal aid and
the pragmatic relief they provided to underprivileged clients, illuminates the value of using gender
to frame the story.' Norma Basch, Professor Emeritus, Rutgers University'In a remarkably original
social/legal history, Batlan is asking readers to rethink what lawyering has meant and could mean.
And when you ask 'outside the box' questions, you come up with surprising answers. This book
can help us understand why law today can be far from justice.' Linda Gordon, Florence Kelley
Professor of History, New York University'Women and Justice for the Poor presents research that
is definitely worth reading. Batlan succeeds in exploiting science history to show convincingly how
women played a significant role in legal aid history.' Marianne Vasara-Aaltonen, Kirjallisuutta Read
more This book re-examines fundamental assumptions about the American legal profession and
the boundaries between 'professional' lawyers, 'lay' lawyers, and social workers. Putting legal
history and women's history in dialogue, it details the history of the origins and development of free
legal aid for the poor in the United States. Read more See all Editorial Reviews
