Book Published
In August, 2016 Carolina Academic Press released GENDERED LAW IN AMERICAN HISTORY by Professor Chused and his long time Georgetown colleague Wendy Williams, Emerita Professor of Law. The large teaching and resource text is a compendium of over 30 years of research and teaching in the field.
The book explores social, cultural, and legal arenas from the turn of the nineteenth to the middle of the twentieth centuries, including concepts of citizenship at the founding of the republic, the development of married women’s property laws, divorce, child custody, temperance, suffrage, domestic and racial violence before and after the Civil War, protective labor legislation, and the use of legal history testimony in legal disputes. It is both an invaluable reference tool and an important new teaching text. For additional information, go to the book's page at Carolina Academic Press.
