It identifies the overarching approach as one of silencing: lesbianism has not only been ignored or regarded as unimaginable, but was deliberately excluded from legal discourses. A series of case studies ranging from 1746 to 2013 from parliamentary debates to individual prosecutions shed light on the complex process of regulation through silencing. They illuminate its evolution over three centuries and explore when and why it has been breached. The answers Derry uncovers can be fully understood only in the context of surrounding social and legal developments which are also considered. Lesbianism and the Criminal Law makes an important contribution to the growing bodies of literature on feminism, sexuality and the law and the legal history of sexual offences"--Provided by the publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 650 0 $a Lesbians $x History. $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Lesbians $x History. $z Wales $x History. 650 0 $a Criminal law $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Criminal law $z Wales $x History. 650 0 $a Lesbianism $z England $x History. 650 0 $a Lesbianism $z Wales $x History. 650 7 $a Criminal law. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00883328 650 7 $a Lesbianism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996514 650 7 $a Lesbians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00996564 651 7 $a England. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01219920 651 7 $a Wales. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207649 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20210721014442.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EDD08808C7F211EAB1F2873797128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
