Eric Berkowitz

Gender and sexuality laws in American history have a troubled past. Since men traditionally ruled courts and laws, women suffered at the hands of the legal system. Consequently, women were virtually unprotected from abuse and harassment in society. In addition, black people, children, homosexuals, and people involved in the sex industry have also historically been under-protected by the legal system.
