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.

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.

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.
