Eve Was Framed: Women and British Justice

We are told as well that God made woman, and “the man and his wife were both naked, and were not ashamed. These small, seemingly obvious designs actually are a part of universal design -- which helps make the world we live in more accessible and navigable for those with and without disabilities. During that downtime, I was drawn to all the work being done in the start-up space around women’s health, FemTech, and FamTech. Embracing a broader definition which includes how diseases impact women differently, how the healthcare system treats women differently, and the pink tax we pay.

The lack of conversations around feeding preferences, lack of staff in hospitals to provide lactation consulting all contribute to reducing the level of choice that Black birthing people have in how they care for their babies. Far fewer women actually get prosecuted, but those that do, suffer harsher sentences than their male counterparts for equivalent crimes. Another slightly more hidden meaning is buried in that line that Eve saw, “the tree was desired to make one wise” — that is, to gain knowledge beyond what one’s childhood community permits, which could include paradigm-shifting scientific knowledge or transgressive moral knowledge that challenges the limitations of social norms. Along these lines, in a 1784 essay, the philosopher Immanuel Kant said that the motto of the Enlightenment — that time of challenge established norms through the power of human reason (“human knowledge”) — was “Dare to Know!Kennedy does a reasonable job of looking at this issue through a more intersectional lens, particularly in terms of race and class.

Defining women’s health solely through the lens of gynecological or reproductive health is too narrow. Kennedy shares her own experience of coming up as one of the few female barristers and the ways in which archaic traditions are limiting the pipeline of female lawyers who could become tomorrow's judges - and thus the system is perpetuated. We might learn to love the wise snake, listen to his many hissing whispers, and realize finally that we are not cursed to die.

Kennedy speaks about how people find it harder to believe women when they don’t conform to certain stereotypes associated with women. At the Inns of Court, she describes an overwhelmingly male and overtly misogynistic environment steeped in bizarre ritual. Where was my health class for fertility, family building, post-partum, breastfeeding, uterine health, perimenopause, menopause, post-menopause? The Tasting Menu is a group of three to four topics each week to learn more about your body and health to get you to know your body better such as learning how to strengthen your pelvic floor, symptoms you might not realize are from menopause, women and heart health. For now, I’ll leave you with these words from Kripal on the fruit that he hopes is being born out of his work at the intersection of academic rigor and mystical experience.

On August 13, 1971, the cover of LIFE Magazine featured an image of two women standing side-by-side.What is great about this book is that there are numerous real-life examples and cases given, allowing a greater insight to Kennedy's statements. This is unlikely to improve while the mechanisms of amending existing and introducing new laws is so dominated by affluent, white, cishet, non-disabled men (i. As the poet William Blake (1757-1827) said more than two centuries ago: “The Bible must be shaken upside down before it will yield all its secrets. As a child, I was told that the Adam and Eve story is about a “fall” from an original, perfect state of grace that is now forever lost to the past.

According to a study published in the American Family Physician, women are “50 to 75 percent more likely than men to experience an adverse drug reaction”.She notes that psychiatry tends to be treated with derision, yet women are usually cast as 'mad rather than bad', not in control of their own actions. Shocked at some of the arguments I read surrounding why rape in marriage shouldn't have been made a crime at that time - we should feel ashamed at how long it took us to change the law in this area. In my opinion, one great example could be in the first chapter, where she compares the “escalation of the numbers of women being sent to prison” in the early 90s and the start of the 2000s.
