    To the contrary, I argue that the Toronto Women 's Court was an ideal reflection of the politics of the white, middle-class feminists of the TLCW"(Glasbeek, A. 2009. p.13) Therefore, the court was both a place where "an activism that partially subverted male power"(p.14) and "a living experiment in feminism"(p.18) Glasbeek did an outstanding job describing the events of history and therefore will be an interesting and thought-provoking read for anyone who is interested in the law(otherwise a confusing read for those who aren 't as interested). The title of the book ideally reflects a time when there wasn 't really "feminized justice" because it was a rather deeply flawed product of the feminists in its day. The court was a righteous and honourable event in history that marked an important time for the upcoming of women 's rights and responsibility.…

    When reviewing the history of the Early Republic, the roles and actions of men are noted as being the key influential figures for the time period. When taking a deeper look into the sociocultural issues of the Early Republic, there were a number of women who argued for furthering the rights and pushing for some aspect of equality for females.
