By rewriting both canonical and lesser-known tort cases from a
feminist perspective, this volume exposes gender and racial bias in
how courts have categorized and evaluated harm stemming from
pre-natal malpractice, pregnancy loss, domestic violence, sexual
assault and harassment, invasion of privacy, and the award of
economic and non-economic damages. The rewritten opinions
demonstrate that when confronted with gendered harm to women,
courts have often distorted or misapplied conventional legal
doctrine to diminish the harm or deny recovery. Bringing this
implicit bias to the surface can make law students, and lawyers and
judges who craft arguments and apply tort doctrines, more aware of
inequalities of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation or
identity. This volume shows the way forward to make the basic
doctrines of tort law more responsive to the needs and perspectives
of traditionally marginalized people, in ways that give greater
value to harms that they disproportionately experience.
