'Property has been used across time and geography to dispossess, disenfranchise, and discriminate. However, the injustices in common law property jurisprudence have often been accepted as inevitable or even necessary. This book is an important step in dismantling the mythology of a neutral, apolitical liberal property paradigm by exposing property's deliberate gendered, racial, and class-based inequities. Its accessibility and depth make it a wonderful pedagogical tool as well as scholarly resource for students, scholars, advocates, and readers interested in what a more equitable, feminist property regime could look like.' Priya Gupta, Associate Professor, McGill Faculty of Law 'I will never teach classic property cases, such as Johnson v. M'Intosh, Pierson v. Post, and Kelo v. City of New London, the same way again. The contributors to Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Property Opinions do an excellent job of exposing patriarchal bias in property law decisions throughout history, and in so doing, they have provided a very valuable service to both law practitioners and the larger society. Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Property Opinions should be required reading for all property law professors.' Claire Osborn-Wright, Visiting Associate Professor of Law, St. Thomas University School of Law 'Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Property Opinions should be on every Property professor's bookshelf. Not only is it an invaluable guide for instructors who want to integrate feminist jurisprudence into a required first-year course, it is also a resource to recommend to students who want to learn more than black letter law. Today's law students are seeking sophisticated, nuanced discussions of the cases they cover in their classes. This is what you will find in Feminist Judgments: Rewritten Property Opinions.' Angela Gilmore, Associate Dean for Academic Affairs and Professor of Law, North Carolina Central University School of Law
