What some of the reviewers have said:

Inventive, compassionate and tenacious, Wistrich…[is] a magnificent, radical, uncompromising warrior of a woman.

Wistrich’s skill lies in her innovative use of legislation…she thrives on perseverance.

Fiona Sturges, The Guardian

A history of her three-decade career, peppered by some of Britain’s most significant cases of violence against women.

Highly accessible and beautifully written…Wistrich’s strong sense of fairness and justice runs through every word.

Chris McCurley, Legal Action

A devastating indictment of a justice system that routinely fails female victims of male violence.
