This book aims to provide a student text covering the major issues in feminist jurisprudence and to analyse the manner in which both traditional jurisprudence and law have remained a masculine subject despite the vast strides in the achievement of formal legal equality on the part of women.;Whilst the literature on this subject is now extensive,it is widely dispersed and inaccessible to many students. A principal objective of this book is to redress that defect and to provide a cogent analysis of this fast moving subject.
