Description:

In this shocking and well-researched expose, an investigative journalist shows how women nationwide are suffering in divorce proceedings at the hands of lawyers and judges--sounding the alarm for change to a judicial system in dire need of reform. At a time when more than half of all American marriages end in divorce, Winner reveals the hard facts of what that really means for women.
