During the 1970s, grassroots women activists in and outside of
prisons forged a radical politics against gender violence and
incarceration. Emily L. Thuma traces the making of this
anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial
and economic justice, prisoners' and psychiatric patients' rights,
and gender and sexual liberation. All Our Trials explores the
organizing, ideas, and influence of those who placed criminalized
and marginalized women at the heart of their antiviolence
mobilizations. This activism confronted a "tough on crime"
political agenda and clashed with the mainstream women's movement's
strategy of resorting to the criminal legal system as a solution to
sexual and domestic violence. Drawing on extensive archival
research and first-person narratives, Thuma weaves together the
stories of mass defense campaigns, prisoner uprisings, broad-based
local coalitions, national gatherings, and radical print cultures
that cut through prison walls. In the process, she illuminates a
crucial chapter in an unfinished struggle--one that continues in
today's movements against mass incarceration and in support of
transformative justice.
