What is Women on the Row : Revelations from Both Sides of the Bars about?

Kathleen O'shea Didn't Set Out Looking For Connections With Women On Death Row. She Wanted Information About Them--who They Are, The Ways In Which They Live From Day To Day. I Was Writing A Sociological Reference Book, She Tells Us, A Fairly Safe, Fairly Emotionless Endeavor. As She Got To Know The Incarcerated Women She Was Studying, However, What Became Clear To Her Were Not Their Differences, But How, In So Many Ways, She And The Women In Prison Were The Same. Arguably, Kathleen O'shea Is The Only Person To Have Contacted Every Woman Currently In U.s. Prisons With A Death Sentence.

She Reflects On Her
