 Inez Garcia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Inez Garcia (born 1941) is a Hispanic woman who became a cause célèbre of the feminist movement when she was charged with the 1974 murder of a man who had raped her.
Garcia began speaking to women's groups in the area, and the Inez Garcia Defense Committee raised money for the defense and publicized the case, hoping to put gender inequalities in the criminal justice system, rather than Garcia herself, on trial.
Through her contact with feminist groups, Garcia transformed from the timid, submissive victim who was too ashamed to even admit what had happened to her into an outspoken critic of patriarchy, even when she saw it in her own judge, who she accused of prejudice and sexism.
