It highlights the importance of her ideas and works which have contributed to legal theory legal interpretation and philosophy of language.

The authors draw on Kevelson's hitherto unknown Office Papers and Notes and a biographical examination points to key influences in her work such as the early feminist movements of the US East Coast the philosophy of Charles Sanders Peirce and the semiotics of Thomas Sebeok. This formsthe basis for a more encompassing research of Kevelson's position work and philosophical background which the authors call for. A quick and enlightening read this book interests a wide range of readers with an interest in legal history and the fields which Kevelson both drew on and influenced including lawyers students and scholars.
