Emily L. Thuma traces the making of this anticarceral feminism at the intersections of struggles for racial and economic justice, prisoners and psychiatric patients rights, and gender and sexual liberation.\nAll Our Trials explores the organizing, ideas, and influence of those who placed criminalized and marginalized women at the heart of their antiviolence mobilizations. This activism confronted a \""tough on crime\"" political agenda and clashed with the mainstream womens movements strategy of resorting to the criminal legal system as a solution to sexual and domestic violence.
