Honest. Forthright. Dusky's soul is laid bare in her autobiography about becoming pregnant as a young, unmarried woman. I admire her courage in writing this pioneering work about adoption.

I know that it is hard to believe that Still Unequal is applicable in 2003, but it is. Just as Prayers To Survive (Mt. Olive College Press) is still applicable in 2003. They should both be required reading in schools all over America.

Lorraine Dusky knows how to focus on the facts. The material on work and family, and child custody, should be required reading. The picture she paints may not be a pretty one, but facts are not always pretty. Truths can be harsh, but truth is what sets us free.

Dusky's book is simply the very best book of it's kind, bar none. She explains complex issues in amazingly clear language. The book is required reading for all those who are passionate about justice: civilians, lawyers, judges, law professors, ethicists, feminists of both genders, Women's Studies professors and students. I have used this book in a Forensic Psychology graduate class and it was the best textbook we could have had. Phyllis Chesler, Ph.D
