搁茅蝉耻尘茅
[En anglais seulement] 鈥淪aying No to What We Don鈥檛 Want鈥� opens The Common Law Inside the Female Body, a book in progress. Anita Bernstein does not disagree with critics who say that the common law is conservative, elitist, hard to look up and pin down, under-interested in distributive justice, and over-interested in protecting property. Nor will she deny that for centuries the common law oppressed wives. And yet this venerable, backward-looking, tradition-minded jurisprudence is a powerful force against the subordination of women. 鈥淪aying No to What We Don鈥檛 Want鈥� shows how thoroughly the common law stands up for individuals, possessors of female bodies included, whenever they object to an interference.
