"""Kristin Kalsem's In Contempt makes a significant contribution to scholarship on the history of feminist jurisprudence. She covers thorny legal issues including married women's property, infanticide, and lunacy law, as well as birth control, imperialism, and women's admission to the bar. In her afterword she urges scholars to engage the 'new evidence' she has brought to light--and I have no doubt that this evidence will be welcomed enthusiastically."" --Christine L. Krueger, professor of English, Marquette University"
