The Ashgate research companion to feminist legal theory

As a distinct scholarly contribution to law, feminist legal theory is now well over three decades old.

Those three decades have seen consolidation and renewal of its central concerns as well as remarkable growth, dynamism and change.

This companion celebrates the strength of feminist legal thought, which is manifested in this dynamic combination of stability and change, as well as in the diversity of perspectives and methodologies, and the extensive range of subject-matters, which are now included within its ambit.

Bringing together contributors from across a range of jurisdictions and legal traditions, the book provides a concise but critical review of existing theory in relation to the core issues or concepts that have animated, and continue to animate, feminism.
