- Description
- This book reconsiders a reliance on the criminal justice system for solving women’s struggles with domestic violence: acknowledge how militarism subjects women to extreme levels of violence perpetrated from within, and without, their communities: recognize how the medical establishment inflicts violence—such as involuntary sterilization and inadequate health care—on women of color: devise new strategies for cross-cultural dialogue, theorizing and alliance building. .INCITE! Women of Color Against Violence was born in 2000, when more than two thousand activists from diverse communities came together to end the war being waged on women of color in the US and around the world. Now the largest multiracial, grassroots, feminist organization in the United States, INCITE! boasts chapters in more than 20 cities.

- Description
- This collection avoids the ‘reductionist' and 'essentialist' shortcomings of ‘feminism unmodified’ in rediscovering’ the peculiarity of feminist perspectives. In the introductory chapter, summarizing the state of the law on core aspects of sexuality and providing a critical appraisal of the key themes and concerns, the book analyzes and transcends the traditional dichotomised thinking about the regulation of gender issues. It addresses a broad range of key themes including: crime, the family and child, contract law, jurisprudence, public and international law.

- Description
- In this book, a group of feminist legal scholars put theory into practice by writing the 'missing' feminist judgments in key cases. The cases chosen are significant decisions in English law across a broad range of substantive areas. Each case is accompanied by a commentary which renders the judgment accessible to a non-specialist audience. The commentary explains the original decision, its background and doctrinal significance, the issues it raises, and how the feminist judgment deals with them differently. The book also includes chapters examining the theoretical and conceptual issues raised by the process and practice of feminist judging, and by the judgments themselves, including the possibility of divergent feminist approaches to legal decision-making.

- Description
- Does gender make a difference to the way the judiciary works and should work? Or, is gender blindness a built-in prerequisite of judicial objectivity? If gender does make a difference, how might this be defined? These are the key questions posed in this collection of essays. The book's pressing topicality is underlined by the fact that male opposition to women's admission to, and progress within, the judicial profession has been largely based on the argument that, because of their gender, women are naturally programmed to show empathy, partiality, and gendered prejudice - in short, essential qualities running directly counter to the need for judicial bjectivity. There remains a more or less pronounced glass ceiling to women's judicial careers.

- Description
- In this collection voices in feminist and queer theory are brought together to create an interdisciplinary dialogue that will define the terms of the debates between and within feminist and queer a theoretical framework.These debates revolve around the multiple interrelated issues - such as gender, identity, intimacy, privacy, and sex harassment - that all extend from the emphasis given to gender on the one hand and sex and sexuality on the other. These two theories have much in common but also much that distinguishes them from one another, and that causes tension. The authors in this volume explore the legal, political, social and cultural implications of their distinct theoretical approaches to gender and sexuality.

- Description
- More than three decades of debate about abortion has been largely a battle of rights - the reproductive rights of women, on the one hand, versus the rights of the unborn, on the other. This collection of essays examines the central pro-abortion claim, that whatever the status of the unborn, the very well-being of women is dependent on the legal right to abortion. The authors make a case against abortion: instead of emphasizing the human rights of the unborn, they argue that legal abortion has negative effects on the well-being of women themselves - socially, medically, psychologically and culturally.
