Today however, given the failure to achieve material and psychic equality for women, feminists have come to challenge the usefulness of equality as a concept, a particular definition, or a basis for strategising. The papers in this collection reflect these concerns, primarily in the context of English-speaking, common law cultures. Collectively, the papers analyse a range of equality projects across a number of areas of public and private law, considering both competing conceptions of equality and alternatives to it. In taking stock across a century and a half and around the globe, the book illustrates the range of ways in which equality projects in law have been challenged by, and remain a challenge for, feminism 410 0$aOn?ati international series in law and society. 606 $aFeminist jurisprudence$vCongresses 606 $aWomen's rights$vCongresses 606 $2Social discrimination & inequality 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFeminist jurisprudence 615 0$aWomen's rights 676 $a323.3/4 702 $aHunter$b Rosemary C. 712 02$aOn?ati International Institute for the Sociology of Law. 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910454407303321 996 $aRethinking equality projects in law$92487162 997 $aUNINA
