Women and the Law

Abstract
This book collects material that explains the law’s unique intersection with issues that affect women. It previews the trends in the law and the issues dominating the courts and academic thinking. Women and the Law is not just about feminist theory or sex discrimination claims. It is about women’s full social experience from the private sphere of personal choice and family matters to the public sphere of the workplace. This book surveys the many legal issues confronting women and offers recommendations for advocating judicial and legislative change on their behalf.
