Introduction to Feminist Legal Theory

This book is a must-read for anyone with an interest in feminist theory and what it might mean for the study of law. The writing is clear and engaging, perfect for undergraduates (should be mandatory reading for all women's studies students!) and law students alike. Even established feminist scholars would benefit from its insightful analysis of cases and legal concepts. The book does an outstanding job of exploring the multiplicity of views on what it means to be a feminist and to take a feminist approach to the study of law. It also engages timely debates on the role of biology and right-wing attacks on feminism, as well as recent feminist interest in global equality and human rights. Sections on applied feminist scholarship take an in-depth look at dynamic issues such as workplace equality, sexuality, and reproductive rights. This truly is the best book on feminist legal theory I have seen on the market!
