Gendered Law in American History is a remarkable compendium of over thirty years of research and teaching in the field. It explores an array of social, cultural, and legal arenas from the turn of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth centuries, including concepts of citizenship at the founding of the republic, the development of married women''s property laws, divorce, child custody, temperance, suffrage, domestic and racial violence before and after the Civil War, protective labor legislation, and the use of legal history testimony in legal disputes. It is both an invaluable reference tool and an important new teaching text. " . . . a new resource offers a comprehensive, elegantly curated collection of primary documents that shed light on a range of the most important themes: Gendered Law in American History by Richard Chused and Wendy Williams. This rich resource--more than 1200 pages--is ideal summer reading for family law enthusiasts! . . . One of the achievements of this monumental book is its constant probing of the relationship between the private law and the public law dimensions of gender rules and debates in 19th Century America. Sometimes these links seem pretty attenuated, but they are always worth asking about, in part because the law school curriculum divides the public law and private law dimensions of the family into separate topics, courses, and bodies of law. The unique collaboration of Chused and Williams, over twenty years of teaching a seminar on Gender and American Legal History at Georgetown together, doubtless made this inquiry possible. We are all the richer for the massive labor they and their students have put into this highly valuable contribution." -- Janet Halley, Royall Professor of Law, Harvard Law School in Jotwell.

Operated on as an infant, without anesthesia, Wendy P. Williams began life at war with her body. "There were tubes everywhere, in and out of every opening," her mother reminded her on every anniversary of her surgery. Autobiography of a Sea Creature takes readers on Williams'' difficult sensory journey toward healing, as she communes along the way with horseshoe crabs, dolphins, and other marine life that taught her the restorative power of beauty, resilience, and interdependence. At times luscious and lyrical, at other times analytical and reflective, this literary memoir portrays the dissociative experience of trauma and the roots of self-destructive cycles, as well as the tragic results of medical beliefs at the time that infants could not feel pain. Autobiography of a Sea Creature is both a love letter to the earth and a hopeful testament of humans'' capacity to heal our deepest wounds.

All the creators have graciously volunteered their time and talent to help bring some sense to this senseless act and, in the process, raise money for the survivors and their families.The book will include a variety of perspectives with key themes exploring gun violence, common sense gun control, value of a compassionate society, mental health stigmatization, aftermath of tragedy and how individuals and communities persevere and an appreciation of Las Vegas as a vibrant community.100% of the proceeds for the WHERE WE LIVE anthology will be donated to Route 91 Strong, a non-profit organization"--Back Cover.

With each thrust of his sweaty, musty body deep inside me he delivered a measure of pain that totally enveloped me. My constant pleas for him to stop went ignored. Every rigid motion of his body made me ache from head to toe. I was forced to lie there. Lying there motionless, I dared not to whine because each time I did, he seemed more deliberate and intent on delivering pain with each motion. I closed my eyes tighter and tighter trying to block out what was happening until they hurt. Inadvertently I bit into my bottom lip causing it to bleed. The blood trickled down the side of my face and onto my chin. Then slowly, it slid down my neck. He straddled my body rendering me defenseless. With his massive strength, he bound my hands over my head with his. I wrestled with this brutality trying to free myself until I became fatigued and couldn''t resist anymore. He laughed at me, a deep evil laugh. I knew as well as he that I was no match for his physical strength. My one hundred and forty-five pounds were no match for him but I tried nonetheless. He toyed with me as he''d switch hands whenever one tired, he switch to the other making me believe that in an instance I could possibly free myself and seek refuge. Toying with me was my punishment for not relenting. The feeling of the wet blood coupled with the perspiration that fell from his brow was annoying me and it was staining my recently washed hair. I wouldn''t even mind the hair if I went to the beauty salon, but I didn''t. The upkeep was solely my responsibility. And my hair wasn''t the most manageable type. It was long, thick and unruly when wet. I desperately wanted to wipe away the combination of blood, his sweat and my tears that were trickling down my face adding to my discomfort. It irritated me so. Suddenly the momentum of his body picked up pace. He panted and grunted like a wild animal. He dug deeper into me with each forceful thrust. I stopped fighting him and braced myself. This is it. Soon this would be over. He thrust deeper, harder, faster and panted. The smell of his breath was making me nauseous. He let out a loud lion-like roar, erupted like a volcano inside of me then collapsed. The dead weight of his body fell upon mine. He lay there for a moment. I couldn''t breathe. I twisted my trapped body under his trying to free myself. He stayed there for a moment then lifted him I lay there for a while daring not move until I heard the sound of his drunken snore. self up. He kissed me on my forehead then rolled to the other side of the bed. I gently slid over the side of the bed and dropped to the floor. Silently I prayed that my movements, as guarded as they were, would not awaken him. I dragged my aching body across the floor and over to the bathroom. In fear of retribution I held in my cries of agony and pain. Once I''d made it to the safety of the bathroom, the closed door would muffle any sounds. There I could survey the damage. Timidly, I allowed what was left on of my clothing that hadn''t been ripped off, fall to the floor. I walked over to the mirror and wiped it clean with the palm of my hand. I stared at the once modelesque figure in the mirror and shook my head. "This was awful and it hurt immensely," I thought to myself. I turned sideways and lifted up my left arm. The pain enveloped me. There it was, a big dark discolored spot forming right at my rib cage where the bruising had already begun. As I replayed the events in my mind, my anger escalated and every bone in my body screamed out for revenge. There were so many ways that I could end this. He was lying there asleep, vulnerable. And because he was drunk, he was virtually helpless. I could shoot him. No, I couldn''t. It was too brutal, too messy. I could stab him, but that would warrant my getting too close to him. The cold waters shocked me into reality. I exited the shower feeling stronger; my anger was fueling me. When I returned to the bedroom I looked at him as he lay resting

Some of us are fortunate enough to wed into a caring, accepting family that is aware to keep their distance from husband-wife problems. However, for some of us, our relationship with the in-laws is a never-ending power struggle with clashes left and right and frequent conflicts over "my way" and "your way." Your relationship with your spouse, as well as your sanity may suffer if your mother-in-law constantly criticizes what you do or feels the need to weigh in on every aspect of your marriage.
