Resistance Behind Bars by Victoria Law
The Struggles of Incarcerated Women
A collection of firsthand accounts, essays and interviews documenting how incarcerated women and gender‑nonconforming people resist dehumanization and abuse in U.S. jails and prisons; it traces campaigns of hunger strikes, work stoppages, legal challenges and mutual aid that confront sexual violence, medical neglect and punitive policies, while situating those struggles within abolitionist, feminist and anti‑racist critiques of the carceral system, highlighting solidarity, survival strategies and the links between inside resistance and broader movements for justice.
