The book takes a design-oriented approach to the broad range of issues that arise in constitutional drafting concerning gender equality. Each section of the book examines a particular set of constitutional issues or doctrines across a range of different countries to explore what works, where, and why. Topics include: governmental structure (particularly electoral gender quotas); rights provisions; constitutional recognition of cultural or religious practices that discriminate against women; domestic incorporation of international law; and the role of women in the process of constitution making. Interdisciplinary in orientation and global in scope, the book provides a menu for constitutional designers and others interested in how the fundamental legal order might more effectively promote gender equality. 606 $aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation 606 $aWomen's rights 606 $aConstitutional law 615 0$aSex discrimination against women$xLaw and legislation. 615 0$aWomen's rights. 615 0$aConstitutional law. 676 $a342.08/78 702 $aWilliams$b Susan Hoffman$f1960- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910806224003321 996 $aConstituting equality$9850906 997 $aUNINA
