About the Author
Mary Ann Glendon is Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School.
Review
This book should change the way abortion and divorce are discussed in the United States. (Daniel A. Degnan Commonweal)
Ms. Glendon is an intelligent and humane scholar, and her argument is mounted with admirable incisiveness. (Paul Robinson New York Times Book Review)
Brilliant...[Glendon's] application of Clifford Geertz's notion that law is a 'culture system,' a 'story' by which society interprets itself is nothing short of dazzling. The 'story' Professor Glendon tells is a chilling one: society stumbles unintentionally towards atomization and nihilism. (Andrew M. Greeley)
[An] extraordinary study...The courageous goal of Mary Ann Glendon's book is precisely to try to resurrect the idea of law as educational...[Ours is] a nation bitterly engaged in a fight over abortion and over a divorce law that imposes hardship on the very parties that looked to it as an engine of liberty. Abortion and Divorce in Western Law, a serious and compassionate book, shows us that another way is both possible and eminently sensible. (Daniel Casse Commentary)
