Gender, Law and Justice

Gender, Law and Justice

Description

Nearly twenty years after the publication of the first edition of Gender, Law and Justice, our society remains largely untransformed, and women, especially those who live at the intersection of multiple inequalities, continue to bear the brunt of this. The first edition of the book was widely prescribed and used by students, academics and practitioners. This second edition traverses the significant legal gains for women in the law, and identifies the legal and practical challenges which remain. The law can be a blunt tool to redress systemic and intersectional gender inequalities, and some of the initial optimism of the 1990s has given way to a degree of cynicism over the possibilities of legal change.
