Guinier (law, U. of Pennsylvania) adds her own essays to a study she conducted with Michelle Fine and Jane Balin on women and performance in law school. She blames female students' lower performance on a law school culture that emphasizes aggressiveness, legitimizes emotional detachment and demands speed. As a solution, she suggests changing the way law schools teach and measure students' achievements. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
