Biography
Nicolette Priaulx is a lecturer in law at Keele University. Her research interests include tort law, medical law and feminist legal studies. She has published work on the reproductive torts in a series of journals and edited collections including Studies in Law, Politics & Society.
"The Harm Paradox is a trenchant and powerful review of the unwanted pregnancy - and, indeed, of pregnancy - as seen by a thoughtful and remarkably fair, though by no means impartial, feminist theorist." - J. K. Mason, Medical Law Review, vol. 15 no. 3 (November 2007)
"Priaulx's analysis is thorough, well written and detailed. Readers who are interested in the intersection of torts, society, reproduction and feminism, will find the book a very valuable contribution to the subject" - Tsachi Keren-Paz, Feminist Legal Studies, Vol 16, No.2 (2008)
