A compelling account of how women shaped the common law right to
privacy during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries
Drawing on a wealth of original research, Jessica Lake documents
how the advent of photography and cinema drove women-whose images
were being taken and circulated without their consent-to court.
There they championed the creation of new laws and laid the
groundwork for America's commitment to privacy. Vivid and
engagingly written, this powerful work will draw scholars and
students from a range of fields, including law, women's history,
the history of photography, and cinema and media studies.
