Is law a fruitful avenue for such struggles? Using liberal feminist, postmodern, critical, race, and queer theory, these essays confront the anti-rights critiques of the legal Left regarding the use of law in general and the Charter in particular. Several chapters explicitly examine the strategic limits and possibilities of the substantive equality rights approaches pursued by LEAF (The Women's Legal Education and Action Fund). Others focus on legal strategies mobilized in discreet areas of law and public policy by foreign domestic workers and racialized women, lesbians, women seeking reproductive freedom, women in the childcare movement, and anti-violence advocates. Recognizing the diversity of women across class, citizenship, race and ethnicity, sexual identity, culture, and (dis)ability, this collection evaluates the efficacy of the wide range of legal and political strategies women have employed, particularly in this post-Charter era. Women's Legal Strategies in Canada is the most comprehensive account of these important issues and will surely become the standard work in the field. 606 $aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc$zCanada 606 $aWomen's rights$zCanada 606 $aFeminist jurisprudence$zCanada 607 $aCanada$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aWomen$xLegal status, laws, etc. 615 0$aWomen's rights 615 0$aFeminist jurisprudence 676 $a342.71/0878 702 $aJhappan$b Radha 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910825225403321 996 $aWomen's legal strategies in Canada$94076882 997 $aUNINA
