Publisher Description: This anthology is designed for use in courses in feminist jurisprudence, jurisprudence and the philosophy of law. Feminist legal philosophy has generated a great deal of interest among feminists, philosophers, legal scholars, sociologists and political scientists in recent years. The readings in this collection are organized according to the traditional topics in a typical jurisprudence course: the nature and justification of law; judicial reasoning and the process of adjudication; and the connection between law and equality, freedom and justice. At the same time, they provide balanced coverage of those feminist topics of current interest that are most discussed in legal and philosophical literature today. |
