Regulating Girls and Women: Sexuality, Family, and the Law in Ontario, 1920-1960 - Paperback

by Joan Sangster (Author)

In this fascinating study of sexuality, family, and the law, historian Joan Sangster focuses on key issues that drew women into the courts, as plaintiffs and defendants: incest and sexual abuse, wife assault, prostitution, female delinquency, and the unique 'colonization of the soul' that Aboriginal women had to endure before the law.
