Davis, one of history's unsung women, and her own thoughts surrounding prison abolition. She discusses her desire for a reimagined and responsive system that promotes human dignity, healing, and restoration by addressing behaviors that harm oneself or others, arguing that any such system must be accountable to those whom it governs. The prose is interspersed with Nixon's poetry.","PeriodicalId":509222,"journal":{"name":"The Massachusetts Review","volume":"14 6","pages":"176 - 182"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139188733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Her remains were dissected and put on display at the French National Museum for 150 years.

In the context of family law, a child born of a married couple is presumed to be the husband's, regardless of biological relation. However, this presumption only applies to cis-men. It does not apply to cis-women wives who, though not biologically or gestationally related to a child, have taken on the full breadth of financial responsibilities, emotional devotion, and medical actions necessary to bring that child into the world. With queer women's rising reliance on ART, cases like Junior's are happening more and more.","PeriodicalId":509222,"journal":{"name":"The Massachusetts Review","volume":"68 6","pages":"104 - 99"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139195224","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
