Originally published in 1984, this seminal text is one that truly deserves its 'groundbreaking' moniker. Predating many key moments in contemporary feminist history, it was written before Judith Butler?s Gender Trouble; before Naomi Klein?s The Beauty Myth, with the term ?feminist jurisprudence? having only been coined three years earlier. It went on to inspire a legion of women lawyers and feminist legal rulings, from the Family Law Act 1996 to the legal definition of ?violence? (Yemshaw v. LB Hounslow 2011). This 2018 edition comes with a new foreword by Susan Atkins and provides a timely analysis of women in law forty years on, how much has changed and the work still left to do. 606 $aGender & the law$2bicssc 615 7$aGender & the law 676 $a342.4108/78 686 $aKN152.2$2moys 700 $aAtkins$b Susan$01074596 702 $aHale$b Brenda 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996320742303316 996 $aWomen and the law$92579800 997 $aUNISA
