Aspen Treatise for Introduction to Feminist Legal Theory, Third Edition

The leading text in the field, Introduction to Feminist Legal Theory was the first book that served as an introductory survey of feminist jurisprudence. Its historical view of feminist legal theory places issues in social context and thoroughly reviews the evolving paradigms of contemporary feminism from the 1970s through the present. The full range of legal issues affecting women are covered, including gender discrimination, rape, sexual harassment, motherhood, reproductive issues, and much more. Clear, energetic presentation keeps students engaged and involved with succinct overviews, intellectually stimulating material, and jargon-free prose. The Third Edition features up-to-date theories and topics, such as the 'autonomy' feminism and 'masculinities' theory. Expansion of the current theory-based structure includes the 'big three' feminisms described in the previous edition and the 'new three' feminisms, which are expanded in the third edition. New applied areas are covered as well,
