Acknowledgments
In the course of writing this book I have benefited from the advice and encouragement of numerous friends and colleagues. Lewis Perry provided the right mixture of support and criticism when he directed my doctoral dissertation. Michael Frisch and David Gerber patiently read several drafts of this book and offered needed advice as well as collegiality. Another reader of the manuscript, Elizabeth Pleck, helped me to clarify my thoughts on a number of issues, especially the relationship between gender and punishment. I have also benefited from discussing my work with Maxine Seller, Roger Burton, Mary Hill, Ellen Du Bois, Scott Eberle, and Martin Pernick.
