- Focus on how to conceptualise the relationship between theory and practice in feminist scholarship in law. Description of the implications of different issues raised in a recent debate between Anne Bottomley and Ngaire Naffine on the existence of a 'legal feminist orthodoxy'. The author critiques the dominance of ethics over politics and looks at the ways in which the problem of 'essentialism' is being rethought from a feminist perspective.
