Drawing on courtroom proceedings, D'Cruze reveals that women's interest in speaking out against violent crimes often coincide with the court's agenda to discipline the unruly behavior of working men. However, while women used local courts of vindicate their reputation before their neighbors, doing so often compromised their respectability in the eyes of the public. 410 0$aWomen's history. 606 $aCriminal behavior$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aViolent crimes$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aWomen$xCrimes against$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aCriminal behavior$xHistory 615 0$aViolent crimes$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xCrimes against$xHistory 676 $a364.374 700 $aD'Cruze$b Shani$0756378 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910963013103321 996 $aCrimes of outrage$91524645 997 $aUNINA
