Great read. I will dive into Laura's piece next! This reminded me of a great book I read many years ago, Eve Was Framed by Helena Kennedy. Shocking how women were treated by the "justice" system. I love the way you weave it all together, highlighting the women involved; the writers, all the way through to this piece and Laura's. Brilliant.
Sarah, this is fascinating—both for the appalling story of a woman doomed by class, gender and circumstance, and for the power of the writing by this all-but-forgotten author.

Thank you for the link Sarah...
And for writing about this WONDERFUL book, which one always prays will end differently. What an interesting woman FTJ must have been.
