In this book, Anita Bernstein explains why lawyers seeking gender progress from primary legal materials should start with the common law. She analyzes politically contentious issues such as abortion, surrogacy, prostitution, and sexual assault, with the aim to widen what the law can achieve in furtherance of women's autonomy.
In The Common Law Inside the Female Body, Anita Bernstein explains why lawyers seeking gender progress from primary legal materials should start with the common law. Despite its reputation for supporting conservatism and inequality, today's common law shares important commitments with feminism, namely in precepts and doctrines that strengthen the freedom of individuals and from there the struggle against the subjugation of women. By re-invigorating both the common law - with a focus on crimes, contracts, torts, and property - and feminist jurisprudence, this highly original work anticipates a vital future for a pair of venerable jurisprudential traditions. It should be read by anyone interested in understanding how the common law delivers an extraordinary degree of liberty and security to all persons - women included.

Anita Bernstein is Anita and Stuart Subotnick Professor of Law at Brooklyn Law School and a nationally recognized authority on tort law and feminist jurisprudence. Her awards include the first Fulbright scholarship in European Union affairs given to a law professor. She is a graduate of Queens College, whose political science department named her its Distinguished Alumna in 2014, and Yale Law School.
