Sourcebook on Feminist Jurisprudence (Paperback)

A comprehensive analysis of the relationship between feminist theories and the law, and the way in which development of the former have affected, and been affected by, the latter. This work takes as its starting point a study of women and culture on an international level, which demonstrates how religious and cultural influences have been fundamental in establishing contempoary legal and social mores. This provides the setting for an investigation into legal and social discrimination and inequality, and how this has been addressed by the emergence of feminism. A number of critiques and developments are examined, and the book concludes by asking what the future may hold for feminist jurisprudence.
