Industry Reviews
"Whether you're an individual woman looking for help or a reader looking for the truth about the thousands of women who are battered by the men they live with, Next Time, She'll Be Dead is the one book you should read."
Gloria Steinem
"A convincing and meticulously researched case that America's judicial, law enforcement and legal response to the problem [of battering] makes it impossible for women to live free from bodily harm."
Steinem
"Powerful...full of heartbreaking examples...It made me understand why even women with jobs and supportive networks of family and friends find it so difficult to get out of abusive situations."
Steinem
"A grim, well-researched primer of the damage done to women, not just by men they know but by the criminal justice system that is supposed to help them...bracingly demonstrates the ongoing need for a feminist critique of contemporary America."
Steinem
"Ann Jones has produced a powerful critique of the social and legal origins of what was once called 'wife-beating'...A wake-up call for everyone, Next Time, She'll Be Dead shocks you back in horror, disbelief, and rage."
Steinem
