Jurisprudence & general issues
This book deals with a topic that is rarely mentioned by name-the systematic discrimination, pathologization, and disenfranchisement of women by the institutions that are supposed to protect them. Using real cases, scientific studies, and a compelling cultural and legal sociological analysis, this work shows how women repeatedly become projection screens for social prejudices in court proceedings, government agencies, and the media. Whether as mothers, defendants, witnesses, or victims, their behavior is interpreted, moralized, and devalued. What initially appears to be individual errors turns out to be structural: an invisible web of gender stereotypes, institutional power, and public prejudice. The book goes far beyond classic criticism of the justice system. It asks why seemingly objective proceedings so often devalue female subjectivity, why rationality in the courtroom still has masculine connotations-and what truly gender-equitable justice would mean. It highlights cases from Germany, Europe, and around the world, shows parallels between court reality and media portrayal, and at the same time develops a vision: a judiciary that not only judges but also listens-and is willing to learn from its own failures. Bremen University Press has published over 5,000 specialist books in various languages since 2005.
