- Description
- This article examines the phenomenon of women barristers' denials of the existence of discrimination against women at the Bar, against a backdrop of widespread evidence of sex discrimination and gender bias in this branch of the legal profession. Using interview transcripts from a research study of the status of women at one of the independent Bars in Australia, the article analyses the various stories told by senior women barristers to the interviewers about their gender and experiences at the Bar. It argues that structural and psychological explanations of denials of discrimination are inadequate to account for the range and public nature of the stories told by these women. Rather, the evidence suggests that the women's interview responses were part of the active constitution of themselves as (non/gendered) subjects of the Bar.

- Description
- Contains: a paper -based on a lecture- by Charlesworth examining the way that women's relationship to peace is constructed in international institutions and international law, and two commentaries on Charlesworth's text. Kouvo and Levine argue that wars and peace processes are inherently gendered affairs and as a consequence a focus on equality as a basis for women's participation in peace processes remains challenging. Lockett describes strategies used by women's organisations internationally to ensure their participation, voice and rights and argues that both a human rights approach and a gender analysis are required in approaching peace-building.
