Industry Reviews
-- Austin Sarat
"What I found most compelling about Jessica Lake's meticulously researched and eminently readable history is that she never loses sight of what patriarchal and even feminist constructions of privacy repeatedly miss: the experiences of individual women in a voyeuristic society. For all its deft analyses of legal cases, The Face That Launched a Thousand Lawsuits reads like the story of a resistance movement, one in which the rebels are women, the cause is self-determination, and the fight is by no means done."--Garret Keizer, author of Privacy and The Unwanted Sound of Everything We Want -- Garret Keizer
"Cybercrimes of visuality today have a prehistory uncovered in this book, which shows how far women aggrieved at having their images circulated without their consent brought the legal cases that built the right to privacy." --Nancy F. Cott, Trumbull Professor of American History, Harvard University
