Completely updated and revised for the twenty-first century, "Mothers on Trial" remains the bible for all women facing a custody battle, as well as the lawyers, psychologists, and others who support them. This landmark book was the first to break the false stereotype about mothers getting preferential treatment over fathers when it comes to custody. In this new edition, Chesler shows that, with few exceptions, the news has only gotten worse: when both the father and the mother want custody, the father usually gets it. The highly praised "Mothers on Trial" is essential reading for anyone concerned personally or professionally with custody rights and the well-being of our children.
