"This book takes the reader inside the rabbinic courts, into civil divorce courts and legislatures that contend with this problem and into the lives of victimized women and children. Well-versed in Jewish divorce law, the authors have counseled thousands of agunot, and challenged the Orthodox rabbinate's inaction in response to the injustices faced by these women"--
