Gender, Sexualities and Law

Bringing together an international range of academics, Gender, Law and Sexualities provides a comprehensive interrogation of the range of issues - both topical and controversial - raised by the gendered character of law and legal discourse. The gendering of law, legal persons and the legal profession, along with the gender bias of legal outcomes, has been a fractious, but fertile, focus of reflection. It has, moreover, been an important site of political struggle. This collection of essays offers an unrivalled examination of its various contemporary dimensions: focusing on issues of theory and representation; on violence, both national and international; and on marriage and the family. Gender, Law and Sexualities will be invaluable for all those engaged in research and study in the areas of law relating to gender and feminist studies.
